Just scored a mate to my Hawkeye African 6.5x55

[Sand Rat]

Been looking for a 275 Rigby Hawkeye African for some time. This one popped up on Gunbroker today and I couldn’t resist. I’ll post pics and report on how it shoots when it gets here.

Congrats on the addition!

I wasn't going to bid anyway, just watching it, nice rifle. I have a No. 1 .275 that shoots great and just as rare as the Hawkeye, maybe more so.

Congrats ! Lovely caliber !
Is it regulated for the 140 or the 175 grain slug ?

 

[sestoppelman]

Regulated? Its not a double rifle. If you mean its twist, it will handle any weight or length of bullet within reason.

Apologies When l visited John Rigby and Co. , They were telling me that their High land Stalker in .275 Rigby is " regulated " for the 140 gr bullet . So l used the word " regulated " . Something to do with twist and chamber throat , if l recall correctly.

My favorite pill by far is the 156 gr Norma Oryx.

Gun broker is a dangerous and powerful weapon! I was stuck in Hawaii once for about 6 months and returned home to about 8 new guns all bought off gunbroker!

I can’t use the overseas and bored excuse anymore. I’m back home for good as of August 22. In fact I had to have Gunbroker reset my account before I started to use VPN, they wouldn’t let me buy from Saudi because of the url address.

Actually, I was thinking about somebody else (psst...bullthrower!)
