Gentleman allow me present my double rifle. She is a Sabatti 416 rigby extractor regulated with 400grn hornady DG ammo. I’ve not had a chance to shoot her yet but should in a few weeks. Don’t worry I shall be posting targets shot. But for now hear are a few photos.

Nice! Congratulations. Is this your first double?

Yep and I'm struggling to not tell my partner that I have it. She would like it I think until she finds out I didn't sell one first!
 
Happy for you Norfolk! Not sure if I will ever own one...but you never know!!!

I know what you mean. Iam however the first owner of this one. I suppose I can always have another set of barrels for it

Congrats! Super nice. I have been looking at these for a while now but never see the .416's . I contacted importer they told me 1 yr wait. I wanted 416 as is the most economical to shoot just for fun and big enough to take care of business. Enjoy
 
Very nice!
Looking forward to your range report.
BTW, did a regulation target come with the rifle?
 
just need to get out and shoot the thing now. Im too excited!!!!!

Very nice! If I’m ever able to get a double, it’ll likely be a Sabatti and not one near as nice as yours.
 
Very nice looking double
 
Very nice looking rifle! Congrats on adding a beauty to your collection!
 
That is a great looking gun and seems to shoot well to. I think That group hunt is more in line of what that gun is for over that stinky ibex.
 
Oh my Norfolk shooter! That’s one fine work of art! You know you really can’t claim to own a double rifle until you’ve pulled the trigger on a buffalo;)! I’d love to be there when you break it in on a fine daggaboy!

Congratulations!
 
Congratulations Manish!

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
