I am selling my excellent Mauser M98 Das Original 375 H&H. Built 2025. Purchased from Rivers & Glen in January 2026. It has experience on one successful Africa trip in June of this year taking a mature old Buffalo bull and a beautiful Blue Wildebeest. It shows some mild carry wear from the trip prep and the actual hunt. I have highlighted this in the pictures. Less than 80 rounds fired. Includes the 30mm EAW rings & bases shown. Does not include the Kahles scope shown in a few pictures. To answer the inevitable “Why”question, Parkwest is currently building a 404 Bushveld for me, Griffin & Howe is refurbishing a Ruger RSM 416 and I am also lusting after a specific Rigby at the moment. I should really be selling more. lol New, these are priced at $14k without the EAW mounts. Save over $2000.
Priced at $12,000 shipped.

I've always wanted a Das Original... Buy with confidence from seller. A+!
 
I bought a 375, 300WM and 416 Rigby in the first shipment to arrive in US. The fit and finish on mine are all excellent. Was lucky enough to have several of each to pick from. All are handpicked supposedly grade 5 blanks. But clearly at all of them I looked at some were much better than Grade 5.
The final oil wood finish on a Rigby is better but for 5-8K less these are the basics that make a Rigby.
I bought a second one a few weeks later which is now my daughters 375 so its the only one we have fired and it shoots everything we put thru it well under 0.75 MOA
 
I believe it is. At least I’ve seen others make that comment previously.

Thank you for the LIKE on my old post. It brought back memories as I lost her a year and a half ago, at 18+ years.
