To date they’re my favourite hunting projectile. When I had a 7x57 I used them on animals up to sambar deer size with great effect.
 
That is an exquisite little rifle migrabill! I wish you many very successful hunts with it.
 
I spoke with Lance Hendershot today. The order has been changed from Swift A-Frame 160's to Norma Oryx 156's. Got 5 boxes coming!

Congratulations on the new rifle. I bought my wife a 9mm pistol when I had my knee surgery. The wife has banned me from having internet, credit card, and percocet at the same time or I would have a Rigby also.

That’s hilarious. My downfall was credit card, internet, and oxycodone.

I have an in home physical therapist that comes 4 days a week. I have a set of exercises I have to do 3 times a day. I get up and walk a lap around the house every 2 hours. I have made very good progress. But I have slept in this dam recliner 14 nights now. I too was up walking the day after surgery, albeit with a walker. I am now using a cane.

Ask about renting a CPM knee bending machine. After two weeks, I had full range of motion again. I could touch my heel to my buttock. Every day you set it to slowly bend your knee a little further. Ask your doctor first but the Steadman Clinic in Vail sent me home with one.
 
It showed up at my FFL today and I just picked it up tonight. First time I’ve ever held a Rigby. My oh my….

Do you mind me asking what auction you are referencing? I'm not in the market for any of those rifles...just curious.

Good morning from Montana.

I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.

Best,

Kelly Palmer
