Amazing collection! Sending pic to a buddy that works for Rigby presently here in the US.

Sold ! I’ll take the second one down from the top.

What are the rifles laying ? What is that compass. Also enjoying the cases

. The background is an embossed leather panel, my father in law manages a large antique market, so I have him get me props for my pics, old binoculars, and compasses etc. anything to give that early 20th century feel.

Nice collection. What about the 275 caliber has elicited such passion?

I just love pre war guns. I tend to have a soft spot for 350 Rigbys, 275 Rigbys, 318 Westley Richards, 425 Westley Richards, and 300 H&H.

Back in the day Paul built a 275 take down for someone who at the time was a friend of my brothers and mine...Paul said it was quite difficult as one hadn't been built for a long time, so he had to look up all info he could find ....it turned out very nicely...but as was the guys habit he sold it after not that long....what he tended to do with things he had made for himself.....I didn't know he sold it or would have tried to buy it....

Don't worry with the rifles you put on It would be impossible for me not to look....tend to be to my taste as well :D Beers:
 
Great share! Thanks
 
Honestly if you came here to hunt....you would probably need min of 3 rifles cases to bring the ones I think need a holiday....possibly would need 3 or so visits though :E Rofl:
 
Simply wow!!! You are one lucky man. Congratulations on such a beautiful collection. One question, do you shoot them and how do they shoot.

What an amazing collection!

We should all encourage Mr. Bryan too publish a coffee table book of his collection. I, for one, would like to have it in my living room.

Hello,
I might be able to help you out depending on how many you need. I could probably spare 50-75 .285g A-Frames. They are factory pulls that look like new. Let me know if you are still looking,
Thanks,
Gary
