Yes, indeed 65/100 makes more sense to mee too, but...that's itOK...strange as all mine and as far as I know most of them it was main at 65 yards....but
Thank you Clodo, yes this friend of mine gave it to me as a present, he's a family friend, and indeed did a wonderful gesture! I'm glad you like the rifle this much, and yes, you're right : it's really a "between the hands" gun, very easy to point, to carry, to handle...despite the weight. It's a Brno Magnum action, I had a chat/email(s) with Rigby and they told me the full story behind it - something that add value to me since I love to know about my rifles and about this one even more than the others.
I'll do my very best to use it with the respect it deserves! Will let you know...
...And I alo have to thank you again, because I told you "Brno" - following both the article, and the guys at Rigby that referred they used both actions at the time. But looking closely and comparing them, it's indeed a Mauser Magnum action. My fault - and congrats to your sharp eyes and experience. Very obliged.
Sure I will in a very short time Osne!@Phil Giordano - thanks for a very interesting thread
I am myself the owner of a 450 Rigby, based on a Brno 602 converted by from its’ original 458 Win Mag caliber (I had it re-chambered and the bolt face opened up).
I would absolutely love if you wanted to send that full Craig Boddington article to me too??
No problem Clodo, it will be a pleasure to me. I will as soon as possible.
Just send it to you and Osne
You're very welcome my friend!
