Rigby 9.3x62 Full Custom HS

No offense or taking away from this beautiful rifle but why in the hell would Rigby not take the effort to time the screws on this thing! I would not part with this rifle Paul, I think everyone here agrees that you will kick yourself down the road!
Not the only gunmaker to do so. I don’t know about the construction of a double, but I wondered why the screw on this Holland and Holland for sale by them wasn’t clocked. It looks like the others screws are. Wondered if it was because it had been taken apart as one of the smaller screws looks worn.

Great point, you would think these guys would understand what they are selling!

Great to know someone else would like to see the screws "aligned" on a rifle of this class :D Beers:

The electrical outlet plate screws in my entire house are timed.

I also agree - they should be timed on this wonderful rifle. I would think that should be standard protocol on a custom Rigby?

And if you think I am anal, Cody times the tires on his truck every time he leaves for work.

Simply beautiful rifle. Best of luck to seller and eventual buyer.

At Kalahari Safari, the Small Things Are the Big Things
The thrill of the stalk. The stillness of the wait. The age-old rhythm of the hunt.
It’s not just about the size of the trophy. It’s about the stories that will be told for years.
We believe the memories are the true prize. The small things are the big things.
And we’re proud to offer a hunting experience that honours exactly that.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
