Ruger .416 Rigby For Sale

[jsnhghs]

Up for sale is a Ruger magnum chambered in .416 Rigby.
It has the 3 position safety, not the tang safety, the 3 blade safari style sights, beautiful wood and bluing.
Included in the sell is a J.Unterl 4x Hawk scope and 40 rounds of Hornady 400 gr DGX bonded ammo.
$3000 obo + shipping and insurance

It is listed on one other forum that is local to me in Louisiana.
I’m just thinning the herd and decided to stick with its twin chambered in .375 H&H instead.

Thank you for looking.

A damn shame I live "Down Under"; the rifles that I see here on A H sorely tempt me, but the expense and hassle getting one here, from there is horrendous!! being Ruger fanatic, this one is awesome! Already have dies, cases, and some projectiles to suit ...

Know how you feel Geoff, we simply don’t have the volume of big game rifles being traded in Australia and when they are available the prices are commensurate with their relative rarity.

Amazing rifle and deal, good luck with the sale. Someone is certainly taking a beauty home!!

Is this a RSM or safari magnum or?? Sorry I cannot tell by looking or smart enough to know
differences. Thanks What is serial no or date of mfg,

 

[geoff rath]

One and the same, just different names. As far as I understand, RSM was Bill Ruger's official designation, safari a sort of add-on/variation. Stand corrected on this ...

Ruger made 416 rigby only in RSM. MORE OVER YOU CAN SEE THE INTEGRAL QUARTER RIB IN THE FIRST PICTURE. Rsm's are large magnum actions.

I’m glad the experts clarified if it was a safari magnum or just magnum because I wasn’t sure myself

I’ll be home this evening and can look up the manufacturing date for you.

According to the serial number search on Ruger’s website it was manufactured in 1998 and model # 07502

The only trade I can really think of at the moment would be a STI Tactical 4.0 Blackout in 9mm.
So if you’re sitting on one of those and want to work a deal I’m all ears!

Geoff, this is an early model RSM. swivel band is under the forearm.

Sierra One, were they dovetailed into the barrel?

No, the steel ring goes around the barrel then the tip protrudes through the wood of the forearm where another piece of steel screws into it. No sure I know exactly what you mean by dovetailing.

Please, ignore my ignorance ...

Geoff it may be my ignorance, but I am sure this is first or second year of the RSMs. All three of the calibers were constructed in this manner. You may have to talk to someone who has owned one and disassembled it to get a proper answer. @ActionBob or @AZDAVE can you help with the nomenclature on the assembly of this early RSM?
