Had an itching for another Mauser build like my 25-06AI. I went into a Houston gun shop "Gordy & Sons" and the guy handed me one of the most gorgeous Rigby rifles in 275 Rigby. I was enamored, but them horrified when I saw the price tag. After reading African hunting literature I understood that Rigby just renamed it so it would sell and be more "Posh". So I named this build the "Rigby we have at home/275 Rigby Improved" here's some pictures of its first range trip with max book data to start, in the future I will try to turn the gas up as much as possible.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
