Yes, two of them have, but none will journey with me to Africa this year, mostly double rifles and larger guns for all of this years trips.
 
I love finding and picking up odd trinkets also.

. 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.

Fantastic collection! Are you by any chance looking to adopt a son?:D
 
At the local rifle range a few months ago a man had a collection of new Rigby Stalkers a 375 H&H , a 30/06 a 7x57 , & 9.3x62 . I collected his 375 brass as he did not reload for it. he was shooting it off sticks& left the Federal brass on the ground.

Cocking piece sight and take down; that is exactly the rifle I would have ordered.

@PaulB
Did Rigby make the .416 in TD?

No
I dont believe they made any pre war 416s. They made the 350, 303, and 275 in takedown version

- thank you for the kind words. I’ve got plenty, but I didn’t want to post every week and give everyone fatigue!

Paul - thanks for you concern for our welfare.

But fear not - we are a hardy bunch - familiar with fatigue.

Please post away.

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.
