Awesome hunt!! I experienced the exact “barge” on my Ele and Buff hunt in May. On the way back, they actually stuffed 2 trucks on that “floating apparatus”!! I was never so afraid in my life!!

Searcy’s get a bad rap - not for the rifle, but the man.

Welcome!! I’m from the South Hills with a trout camp in Ligonier.

416. Great photo! Thank you for no scopes and the map adds such a classic look!!

Careful, Rand hats can become an obsession!! What style are you looking at?? @Tanks had a post about them years ago. I’ve since bought one every year at SCI.

Not disagreeing, I was responding to the OP’s desire to keep it original - which I can appreciate.

@migrabill if not too late, can you have your cartridge ordered delayed until the issue is resolved?? I feel for ya. I like keeping all my guns as “original” as possible. Reaming would be last resort.

My thought as well.

Great photography as well!! Thanks for sharing.

Agreed!! That’s about as good as a solution as one could ask. Still unfortunate though considering it’s Rigby.

I must have missed the post about a plan moving forward????? Bottom line - full refund and replacement is the only solution. Anything in-between is a cobbled together 6 figure rifle. Hardly custom at this point. Not to mention the time value of these mistakes. This will be an interesting case...

Do you have expected completion dates?!?!?

I too am from PA but haven’t had it out in the field - only range.
