I have been on my last African safari. I have a beautiful Dakota in .426 Rigby. It is a Don Allen era classic! Many extras $7,500.
I have taken it on two Safaris to Tanzania. Note that I had the bolt re-jeweled. I also have dies and brass.

The advert appears to be from George Caswell at Champlin Arms. Is the rifle there now? Could you post some of your own pictures of the rifle to ensure a scammer didn’t hack your account and post an advert from the web?
 
How is this. I used those photos of my rifle as
My camera is just not up to the task. The rifle is not there now. I purchased it some years ago. I have it in my gun safe. If you are interested in my rifle, I would be happy to take more photos and send them to you.

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
