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.

Looks like there was a pivot scope mount in the "scout" position. Do you still have the rings?

You can use leupold STD rings. The rear is their dovetail and the front is the normal STD windage rear ring.
 
Pm you, please give me a call tomorrow. Thank you
Dave

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
