    This was indeed quite an event and celebration. One that I will never forget.

    Historic and Vintage Rigby Rising Bite .470 NE Double Rifle

    I agree. He was quite a fascinating hunter and explorer. I would like to do a page for him in the “Legends” section of the forums here but not sure if that is OK to do and haven’t had a chance.

    Pre-war WJ Jeffery 404 Magazine Rifle

    PCC, that is a dandy Type A. I am big time jealous of that one. Thank you for sharing

    Pre-war WJ Jeffery 404 Magazine Rifle

    I agree that the sight hood was 100% replacement on that one. I always wondered if the sights weren’t replacement as well but likely done by Jeffery during a refurb in prewar times. It came out of a collection from a gentleman that had passed away and was sourced for me by a friend in the UK. I...

    Pre-war WJ Jeffery 404 Magazine Rifle

    Yes, that one has found a new owner as I have found a little nicer one and “upgraded”. Unfortunately you can’t keep them all. I do have another prewar Jeffery 404 for sale right now but it is not as collectible as the one in this thread.

    Even Elmer Was Sucked In?

A few years ago I bought Keith’s 577 NE Rigby Webley Farquarson from RIA. It was also previously owned by author John Ross. There was...

    Want To Buy 450-400 NE Heym Double Rifle

    As others have said, this is 100% a Paso Robles Rigby. Again, I will reiterate that I had a CA Rigby double in 500 NE and it was a joy to shoot and very well made. I also owned a 275 Rigby and 416 Rigby bolt action made in CA and found them to be of very high quality and beautiful. Good luck...
