Wanted Pre 64 Model 70 In 416 Rigby

[Craig Klintworth]

Sir G&H built one (that I know of) however Al Biesen built two! One for a friend of Jack O’Connor and the other for another close friend owned a sporting goods store in Idaho.
I happen to own that rifle. It has traveled the world. Been to Russia for brown bear, Africa and took the second largest lion ever recorded (none of this by me).

Pictures for your review.

I know this is an old post but I have held the Al Beisen 416 Rigby in my hands, it belonged to the well known PH Mike Fell, then of Danny Mc Cullum Safaris in Tanzania but Mike now operates under his own banner. It was a FANTASTIC rifle with a super fold up aperture sight mounted into the rear scope base ….i have since made a number of those.

Can you post a photo of the aperture sight? Thanks.
