This is really one the big benefits of this site. I have purchased several rifles in this same manner on this site. You could go to 50 "local gun stores" across the country and likely never run into a rifle like this. However, on here you have virtually a world wide audience, just post what you're looking for and more likely than not somebody on here has one, or that particular brass, optic, or whatever it may be that you are in search of. Good luck on the hunt for your Heym.

Wow. I have not seen a Rigby DR for under $20k before. I cannot see this is made in CA either. They would have Paso Robles on the barrel. thoughts ?

I have a Paso Robles bolt gun in 375 (very happy with it), and the gold inlaid monogram script on this gun is precisely the same as on my bolt gun. Makes me think this is probably a CA gun but I guess the SN would tell the tale.

I believe it is stamped as a California Rigby on the barrel. Had to zoom in and not real clear but looks like to me.

I have a CA 470 DR and JJ Perodeau called it perfect when he gave it his once over. It is a joy to shoot and awesome extremely high grade wood and engraving with elephant, lion and cape buff all gold embossed! However JJ did say I was lucky!!! He has seen some bad ones

I know people like to rag on the CA guns but my CA double square bridge Mauser in 375 is gorgeous, perfectly balanced, 100% reliable, and the most accurate rifle I own. Pretty is as pretty does.

@Buckmaster1 it might be worth sending this one to JJ to see if it's ok and maybe steal a bargain.

 

[Buckmaster1]

Yes jj is only about an hour and half from me I live in Tahlequah ok . But I think I will hold out for a heym if at all possible. Worse case is ordering one and waiting 2 or 3 years to get it.

Hello.

It is almost certainly a CA rigby. It is a merkel type action.

The thingy is a base of a pivot-mount

 

[vette447]

As others have said, this is 100% a Paso Robles Rigby. Again, I will reiterate that I had a CA Rigby double in 500 NE and it was a joy to shoot and very well made. I also owned a 275 Rigby and 416 Rigby bolt action made in CA and found them to be of very high quality and beautiful.

Good luck with your search.
