Hi all. I hope everyone is well. Perhaps a silly question, how does one decider if it is a Super Grade or not? A family friend has a Pre ‘64 Model 70 in 458 Win Mag. Trying to help him get a price. We are based in SA but having a US based value always helps immensely. Thank you!

Hi all I hope everyone is well. Do any of you by chance know of one of these for sale? I am looking for one for my CZ 450 Rigby rather urgently but can’t find one anywhere. Any leads will be appreciated.

Thank you for the in depth feedback. My challenge is that the only reputable gunsmith who has solid experience with double rifles is one of the individuals who would be keen to snap it up. I will try and see if I can get someone to have a look at it. I will share photos tomorrow. Thanks...

100%. I have a slight challenge. It is at a local gun store. Came up rather quickly and there are a couple of people in the queue behind me. I only found out about it yesterday. Apparently a plain jane WR in 500 NE. Has case and some components. Hardly any engraving and has Westley...

Hi all. I hope everyone is well. What would the approx value of something like this be? I have found a rifle in similar condition and am trying to ascertain the value. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I compared my 450 Rigby round to his 550 Magnum in April. That thing is a beast, but I don’t imagine it’s too fun to shoot or carry through the bush when hunting buff either.

Haha I think he will be at that stage soon.

You’re 100% right!

That’s an incredible rifle sir! Special that you were able to buy it back. I saw one the other day and as a young man dreaming, wanted to know what this exact model in this chambering would cost in the current market? Even an estimated range would be interesting!

As has been said many times, KZN is great for Nyala. I would without a doubt recommend Leeukop Safaris. I’ve hunted there multiple times for the last few years. Huge expanses of land with great scenery. Some of the biggest Nyala in the world come out of there and is a place I would guarantee you...

You will be in my prayers sir. The power of it is something one must never underestimate. Please keep us in the loop so we may know how you recover. He has a plan. All the best!

Some lovely bulls posted above. Congrats everyone. It always amazes me how unique Nyala can be. The bell, the sweep, the wide or narrowness, the worn down or broken horns. It all adds to the special nature of a hunt or ‘trophy’.

Hello gents, thank you for the great responses. I’m busy typing up a hunting report - it may be a little lengthy though but I’m trying to capture every detail. One thing that I love about hunting these animals, is that size doesn’t matter at the end of the day, but the experiences that each...
