Thank you sir.Yes that is a Dandy and GLWS.
It was re- bored, not re-barreled. And yes it does affect the value. As for the Rigby name not being on the receiver ring, some have it and some dont.Does the re barrel lower the value? Why isn’t the Rigby logo engraved into the top of the action. Or did they all not have that done ? View attachment 655972
my original step ring ,,no logo. my 375 rebore has the logo maybe because the ring is longer ,It was re- bored, not re-barreled. And yes it does affect the value. As for the Rigby name not being on the receiver ring, some have it and some dont.
yes its original finish which is hard to come by with the earlier guns here's another picI love the wear on the original
Thank you sir.That’s a cool rifle - and a step-ring! I know Lon has a GREAT reputation with Rigbys.
Without question a gorgeous gun!!!! Just for my learning since I do not know…does rebarreling a rifle like this reduce or increase its value? It seems to me given it is now in such a popular caliber it would increase its value?I've decided to part with my Rigby. 375 that I bought in 2023 when I thought Delta had lost my custom Brevex for good. This is an original Rigby that started out as a .350/400 in 1905 and was at some point re-bored to .375 H&H. Rigby says that they didn't do the re-bore.
It has the slant box magazine and feeds flawlessly. The restoration work was done by Lon Paul.

it makes a much more useable rifle out of it ,the ammo is everywhere and that particular rifle could be set up with a scope using the square bridges by most competent gunsmiths , the 400/350 was a bit lighter than the 350 magnum so it will kick a bit but it has a cross bolt added which means it may have started out life as a 400/350 slantbox action and was used for a 350 magnum ,then rebored to 375 ala Paul Roberts an original 350 magnum in original condition would be worth a bit moreWithout question a gorgeous gun!!!!
