Rifle Rigby Big Game Pre War 416 Rigby

[alessandro.illuminati]

I am looking for a pre-war or even 1950s 416 calibre Rigby Big Game rifle. I know they are quite rare.
thanks

I believe @Tokoloshe Safaris has one in his collection. (Or more?) They are worth new car money as you’re aware, but they are a remarkable investment-grade rifle and relatively few were made and fewer survived.

Better yet, you could book a hunt with Lon Denny of @Tokoloshe Safaris and see the subject rifle!

When one uses the @ sign with the user name such as @alessandro.illuminati a notification is sent to their user interface (tool bar) within the bell icon. Is Lon isn't hunting and if he internet is working, he has seen your post. Send him a PM. He's a great guy! I've talked with him about hunting via WhatsApp calls.

Here would be one.

I was also interested in it and sent a message to the seller not later than today. He has not answered until now. I think that the rifle is in poor condition and that's why the price is imho still too high.

A belgian Francotte post-war 416 on a non-magnum action is not in the same stratosphere as a pre-war Rigby on a true magnum mauser action. $30,000-$60,000 difference in value.

In Europe, the market for such weapons is very low. This rifle seems to are on sale for years.

How much should this rifle cost?
