Noone makes it to Africa often enough!
this will be a hard one to pass on. good looking rifle, surely a favorite in Africa. Bought a BRNO .458 Lott this morning.
That won't last long.
Do folks just walk in there and sell the gun to them? Trade in? I'm stopping by next Tuesday.
Yes. A lot of walk-ins and G&S also has a guy that buys a considerable amount of guns from online auctions they resell. If that was a Gen. II EE, I saw the listing previously, did not review now, but I don’t even think they marketed it as being an EE.
Hey, didn’t you just sell a Dakota 76, 458 Win Mag last year? Lol. The 458 Lott is more versatile and I’m guessing the deciding factor was the scope! Congratulations, excellent rifle and scope!
Wow. I butchered that.
Yes, I sold the 458WM I bought last year. I had a Z6i 1-6 EE I wanted to put on my 505 Gibbs but talked myself out of it and instead mounted a redundant Z8i 1-8 I had, and while I haven’t scoped myself yet, it’s made slight contact a couple times and knocked my ballcap several, so regretted parting with the Z6i EE. Figured I’d wanted to try out a Lott for a while, on the fence between getting a Heym Martini in Lott or a Rigby BGR in 450 Rigby…so this was the perfect piece to pick up to play with for a bit, swap the scope to my Gibbs, and if I love the rifle, I’ll put the Z8i on it, and keep it, or after my experimenting, offer it up sans a scope.Hey, didn’t you just sell a Dakota 76, 458 Win Mag last year?

This one was a consignment piece and owner was kind in accepting a lower offer as well.
I think you might be my hero
That's my dilemma. Cape Buff trip planned for 2028. The Dakota 416 Rigby, or the Heym 404 Jeffery?...Man..Nobody needs an excuse to own a battery of Big Bore rifles that could each individually anchor a boat. But somehow deciding which one comes to Africa could be harder than the actual dangerous game
He certainly sets a high bar!
The 404J is cool, real cool, but I’d never give up my Rigby 416 for a 404J in any rifle. Love the true magnum length action, ease of finding ammo if something was lost or temporarily delayed, with lots a quality factory ammo options. Plus it’s a Rigby Rifle, Mauser action in 416 Rigby. Better than great. It would be the last dangerous game rifle I’d part with, and even feel treasonous for leaving it behind when I take a double to Africa.
My .450 rigby always feels spited when I leave it behind!
