Ruger RSM .416 Rigby

That is an excellent price for several reasons.

The scope and mounts alone cost $us1,000; those are not standard Ruger rings- I believe they are Recnagel base & rings.

The stock is either a full custom or someone had the factory stock highly modified.

The bolt and extractor seem to have been jeweled.

Someone spent a lot of money to make an American rifle look European; and I think it’s nicely done.

Just saw one these list recently in 416 Rigby for 2,800 Canadian or about $2,060 USD. Seems like a good deal.

It has the barrel band in the stock though, I think that denotes it as one of the earlier models?

I sold my Ruger Safari Magnum in 458 Lott last year . I paid $2000 for it in 2003 and sold it for $4500. I used it on several trips to NT and it took 6 buff . No runners . A very nice rifle once I added 3/4 of an inch to stock and a Kickeez pad . My sense is a 416 Rigby might be more in demand than the 458 . What I am seeing from auctions is the prices of 416 Rigby in CZ550 Safari and RSM’s going through the roof .

I'd agree that the 416 Rigby is likely the more popular choice in these rifles. More nostalgia, less recoil.

Mine is priced to sell quick $2600. I agree the value is above where I am priced.
@krish has an impressive battery of RSMs!

That's still up for sale?

@Daniel Cary it is. I figured with the condition and price it would have gone quick. Last year I saw several selling $3200-$3500. I’m just looking to get my money back out of it.

How are you doing

All is well, just working day and night. How are things with you?

Bumping an old thread as I had a question:

Somewhere I saw a comment (cannot find it now) where someone lamented the Ruger RSM only held 2 rounds of .416 Rigby in the magwell making it a three shot gun.

Is that so? I assumed it was a 3+1 capacity?

I just ask as I'm trying to sell my 375 H&H RSM to get a .416 Rigby. My 375 holds 4 in the magwell and I assumed the Rigby would hold 3.

My 458 Lott RSM holds 3 in the magazine.

Thanks guys. I figured it was but wanted to double check.

Theres one listed at a shop here in Canada for $2995 Canadian, seems like a good deal.

Equivalent to $2,181 USD.

@krish is the AH equivalent of the guy on the corner. He's got a little bit of this and a little bit of that...only the good stuff.

I'll second what @Green Chile said, @krish has some beauties. He is your guy.

To answer your question, I loaded 416 Rigby rounds in Ruger RSM 416 Rigby. It takes 3 rounds in the magazine and I can close the bolt. No extra loading the chamber. If that info helps.
