he may have been able to get it from WR I never seen that particular folding sight on other rifles I imagine it would be hard to do as a one off item ,I was friendly with Simon Clod e and he sent me a new hood for a rifle I had years ago so I know they would sell parts if they know you

very nice , selling that one???

westley type folding sight which ive seen on Dumoulin rifles once in a while , looks like it could have been built in Spain ,,1909 action with bottom metal

this is one of the nicest to come out of matts shop and had a conversation about this gun with him yesterday , matt has a great style for his stocks as they look rigbyish which is a good thing his 1/4 ribs looks a bit ralf martini , notice on that 500 the action is not overly big for the...

Rigbys tho high in price where probably the least adorned of all the British makers , no horn grip, no horn forend tip ,no cheekpiece ,typical checkering , typical English walnut , it did handle very well because they were trim but most were about as spartan as could be

what caliber was it and do you have a pic of it

John I thought I went over this whole subject with you a while ago

years ago it was called the "game ranger"

did you just buy that mauser from MNR ?

I would of been much easier to have the stock refinished and send the bill to rare breed or rare breed just send him back 1k ,, as the "cat is out of the bag" now on a future sale

it makes a much more useable rifle out of it ,the ammo is everywhere and that particular rifle could be set up with a scope using the square bridges by most competent gunsmiths , the 400/350 was a bit lighter than the 350 magnum so it will kick a bit but it has a cross bolt added which means it...

yes its original finish which is hard to come by with the earlier guns here's another pic

my original step ring ,,no logo. my 375 rebore has the logo maybe because the ring is longer ,

the 416 rigby is worth the most here , at least 15-20k. but I,d have to see better pics from what I do see the rear square bridge was altered for the peep sight so thats a deterrent but its a magnum action looks to be prewar which is a good thing

scavenging I see !!!!

welcome , my wife just happen to tell me tonite that she wants to go to Switzerland in the spring , im hoping there are a few nice gun shops to visit

yes I just tried 5 cartridges today of Kynoch which is what would have been then and it works fine ,but the RWS pointed 250grains are a bit long so they itv the front of the box and get hung up which could be fixed if I wanted to

oh very nice

where did you buy them

im on my laptop . look at the bottom metal its pure Concari these rifles are leaps and bounds over new Rigbys not as much the best quality Rigbys but the run of the mill 20k and under models thats coming from a rabid Rigby collector

that is an awesome gun RITTERBUSCH ?? and the action was most likely built by Concari of Lecco Italy

here's Morris hallowells description he had a 416 at one time with pics out of the stock to show the action ,, Prechlt made thumb cut mag actions up till about 15 years ago Gordy and sons has one for sale as speak Casartelli Armi. Concisio, Brescia. --- Custom Mauser --- .375 H&H Magnum...

he made actions for Carlo casartelli also , here one that hallowed had a while ago it was a 375 h&h ,they also make a rimmed feed mauser

look at thier takedown action the one that the barrel slides into the front ring , I spoke with concari and they confirmed it , a friend of mine had one for sale so I was able to inspect it .. Italian engraved also if you go not concari web site look at special models

germans got the mauser action going full steam ahead in the early 1900,s which is still the king today the English tweaked the style of the wood to suit there type of shooting , today the Italians produce actions that are made by CONCARI of Italy and used in germany by many top makers including...

it certainly looks it

I think read before that the elephant charge at the beginning of king Solomons mines is for real

it will stay a 9.3x62 I have a 350 rigby barrel thats blown out which I will have copied in 9.3x62 ,,I will probably sell the old barrel when the new one goes on ,I do believe the rifle started life as a 9.3x62 regardless of the non original barrel

like festuscats project this DSB Oberndorf is currently a 9.3x62 with an original mauser Oberndorf barrel but not the barrel that it was built with.. its also been restocked terrible stock tho ,thats going to change soon as I have an original but worn out rigby 350 barrel that im going to have...

was there when Paul Roberts was running it , may be going again soon

hopefully they have the bolt as it will be serial numbered on the shoulder and the shroud and safety , this is definetly a cal. 6.5x58 Portuguese mauser , looks to be a type B what I posted in my pic is the same Oberndorf commercial mauser but in a type A , some differences are express...

the description of the barrel markings in the first post , 6.5 PORT

its a 6.5 x 58 Portuguese they stamp PORT to shorten it ,

its a 6.5x58 Portuguese pretty rare caliber for an Oberndorf some are marked imported by Charles heyer & co I had a type A Oberndorf years ago thats at the bottom in this pic , I know where there are 12 boxes of Kynoch but I dont think the owner will export to England

if I showed my wife the pics we would have to leave tonite !!

I also have one of these husky which I paid 300 for years ago although a nicely put together rifle its not finished anywhere near this grey & co , tho its sleek and handles like a rigby of its time

in the world of gun collectors this is a rare rifle ,maybe a bit high in price but built like a rigby of its time , Daniel Fraser made many rifles on a 96 action as well as Dickson these are hard to find and not as common as rigbys or westleys , hollands ,, here's a holland with the same...

excellent,,and if you ever think of selling keep me in mind !!

I collect them , you could call rigby and for about 75 dollars you will receive a document from the ledger stating when the gun was built and for whom , Steve Bignell at rigbys will help with this , the address on your barrel is the later address coupled with the fact its a high velocity that...

do you know its been rebarreld by rigby to 275 hv and that it was originally a 7mm 175 grain ,do you have a printout of the original ledger ? it was built as the front ring states 1898 on a transition action mauser number is most likely very low 2 or 3 digits. not sure how much you dig into...

this is a nice rifle , looks like an early rebarreled. 275 high velocity conversion from a 175 grain 7mm , what is the serial number and the mauser number ??

very nice the ring side will have to be custom made ,mark cromwellat NECG may be able ,reto buhler should, Matt at MNRcustom guns it will take some knowledge this is not a typical mount

pre-war rigbys were not offered in 375 h&h this pic of mine is a rebore by Paul Roberts in the 80,s of a early 350 magnum as far as one being better than the other holland like westley put a lot of time in there bolt rifles as there actions/barrels were not supplied by Oberndorf ready to go...

I would think with a screen name like yours this would be the one to own !!!

this is a great example ,and yes I know the blue you are talking about

very nice even better with the SSB and original bottom metal ,,,not the alloy bottom metal

buy one of these huskies in the mean time ,you could stain it a bit darker to suit yourself they are close in design to rigbys 275. they are cheap on the market

tried and true. congrats

cheek piece was added and I would bet the buttpad when the side mount went on , probably in the 60,s

yes I believe they use mayfair actions made in England , Paul
