Actually, it's snowing.and the rains came.....
this is a nice rifle , looks like an early rebarreled. 275 high velocity conversion from a 175 grain 7mm , what is the serial number and the mauser number ??I am a big fan of vintage British rifles and I have an original early transitional action 275 John Rigby. I have acquired a few different vintage English guns over the years and they are pleasant in your hands as well as fun to shoot.View attachment 197454 View attachment 197455 View attachment 197456 View attachment 197457 View attachment 197496 View attachment 197497 View attachment 197498 View attachment 197499
do you know its been rebarreld by rigby to 275 hv and that it was originally a 7mm 175 grain ,do you have a printout of the original ledger ? it was built as the front ring states 1898 on a transition action mauser number is most likely very low 2 or 3 digits. not sure how much you dig into this stuff, I know I doMy old Rigby .275 is a four-digit serial number of 12x9.
That is a fact!@Red Leg , I bet you’re glad you picked yours up when they were still $9k!
Since the late Mr. Corbett did much off his hunting at night I doubt he would have had much use for such a scope.Cheers, bet Corbett wishes he had a scope like that on his rifle!
