Well I brought this up on another thread about H&H qd mounts. I had the opportunity to pick up a Rigby at the right price. London gun, probably too fancy for mw to own long-term but goodness me...hold one of these and you will understand the difference. I don't love the scope on it...may change that.

She weighs a hefty 12lbs plus and is built like a brick shithouse. Looking forward to shooting her. Will be in the market for someone's excess factory loads.

This gun has sold at auction twice over the years. Alot of gold and engraving. The bottom magazine plate was done by Byron Burgess, one of their master engravers. I would guess he did the rest of the rifle as well but unsure.

That's beautiful! I agree with @SETH RINGER

That other rifle in pictures is amazing too! What is that one?

That is a fun little Bailey Bradshaw double in .22 hornet. The wood on that gun is insane. To me anyway. Will be a fun plinker and practice when I need to switch when shooting the .470 and the .500. I need to train on the double trigger system.

Well that`ll be one of the nicest ZKK 602 Rigbys I`ve ever seen. Proper scope mount too. Excellent. It is quite heavy but, I think that can be a good thing. 416 Rigby is capable of sending 450 grain pills at almost the same speed as the old 400 grain configuration, easy. But, I promise you, that comes at price. Blue shoulder, loose teeth etc..when shot in a 9 1/4 lbs original. So having a little more "beefy" stock to hang on to if you sort of crank up the 416 is a definite,, yes please. On the other hand, you measure penetration in yards, not inches. I`ve flipped an ele over with such a combo. Staggering.
 
wow what a beauty that is!

that engraving is just :Drool:
 
So the Bradshaw is a falling block double! I thought of single shot in the photo. Lovely. Might like a few close up shots on it as well?.....

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
