I order this rifle from A-square in 1985 and has been in storage since then, but moved states a few times.
Wanted a Rigby and at the time, seemed the only available option. Anyhow, test fired by me once with A^2 ammo and recently, with Federal to check it out. Price is $3375 shipped FFL to FFL. Thanks for looking.

Another gentleman here asked for this info and I included here as not sure what folks want to know:
-holds 3 Hornady 400gn DGS down (no more).
-barrel length 24"
-LOP 13 3/4"
-empty weight 11.2lbs (bathroom scale). Meaty barrel.
-muzzle diameter 0.800" (could be re-bored to 450 Rigby, 495,500 AA, 460 Weatherby, etc)

These are the only stamps. The top of the receiver is marked RE and the serial# indicates the receiver was made in 1918.

I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

I'd like to get some too.

My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.
