For Sale, A John Rigby 9.3x62 caliber built in 2018. It will be going on its first Africa hunt with me from 8/6-8/21 in search of Leopard in Namibia. I am sharing it out now. The rifle will be available when I get back on 8/21. Several members have PMd me so I thought I would share it now for people to consider. I am posting pictures as it is right now today 7/22 and I will post pictures again with the date of the post when I get back from my hunt noting any scratches or dings if they happen on the hunt. The reason I am selling is my new Rigby BGR in 404J makes this one somewhat redundant. After my Leopard hunt it will just sit in my safe. It has the following that comes with the sale:

  • John Rigby Certification of Manufacturer.
  • Rigby company target showing the gun’s target showing within 1 MOA.
  • The gun comes with a Leupold VX5 HD 3-15-44 Fire Dot Scope with rings.
  • Gun comes in Rigby case.
  • The rifle has Grade 5 Wood.
  • The rifle has a 4 x 1 loading and capacity.
  • The rifle has the Gold Rigby Add On with the bottom plate.
  • The following is a lifetime supply for reloading:

  • PPU 200 bullets 285 Grain SP.
  • 75 pieces of PPU unfired brass
  • Barnes 286 Grain TSX 13 Hand loaded cartridges done by me with Big Game Powder well under PSA shooting 2400 FPS.
  • Barnes 286 Grain TSX bullets 6.5 boxes 50-count per box.
  • Speer 270 Grain Hot-Cor bullets 3.25 boxes 50-count per box.

  • Nosler Accubond 250 Grain 2 boxes bullets 50-count
  • 2 sets of dies
  • 1 Crimp die
  • 2 shell holders
  • The reloading supplies with ammunition itself retail for $1,500 if you could get them in the open market think Swift A-Frames.
The gun weighs 7.8 pounds and has a 14 3/4 LOP with a 22-inch barrel.

Total price within US except for CA and AK, $17,500 inclusive of shipping.

Update. My Namibia hunt got pushed out a month for my leopard to 9/12-27. When I get back I will post new pictures with the date. I have lowered the price for everything to $16,000 shipped to you
 
As a huge fan of all things 9.3mm, I have a serious attraction to this fine firearm. Unfortunately out of my budget as I save for next year's hunt (an pay the taxidermy for last year's hunt) but good Lord she is a beaut. I reaaaaally wish I could take her off your hands. Someone will get a wonderful piece with this rifle. Good luck going after Mr. Spots, I look forward to seeing the report.
 
UPDATE
I just got back from Africa with my John Rigby Highland Stalker in 9.3 x 62. Please note the updated pictures with today's date. The only thing I can see is I have a slight scratch on the magazine bluing along with the cap piece that has scratches from the rifle sitting on sticks when I shot my PG for bait. As always, I offer a three-day inspection period to make sure you are happy with the package I am offering, and it is true to my statements. The new price is $12,500 for the following package!!! The scope alone is $1,800 and the reloading supplies are worth $1,500 so the rile is being offered under $9,000 since I am paying for shipping. I WILL NOT BREAK OUT THIS PACKAGE SO PLEASE DO NOT ASK.

I have been asked why I am selling…I have a Rigby PH model in 404 that for me dies what the 9.3x62 does and more so I don’t want a great rifle just sitting in my gun case, just me
 
If I had the $$$ i would have paid you a visit by now. :(
 
That is a fantastic price, but I have 2 x62 already.

I do have to ask why you don't keep it as back up for the 404 or the 404 as backup for the x62:A Bulb:
 
With the Rigby quality I just don’t see a need for a back up, just me
 
Any scratches from your hunt you just took it on?

Don’t want to have another “double” incident…

I would go ahead and just post current pictures of the rifle in its present state.
