John Rigby 303 (Takedown)

[PaulB]

This is my John Rigby & Co. .303 British - Serial No. 3259, and one of my favorite Mauser rifles. A takedown configuration, one of only 16 takedown examples ever built by Rigby in this caliber. Retaining its original scope, bases, and rings, it remains remarkably complete and true to its original factory configuration. With so few made—and inevitably fewer surviving today, this 303 stands as a rare and beautiful example of Rigby’s finest work in a practical, travel-ready sporting rifle.

I love how the checkering continues the pattern on both sides of the take down joint. The swept back pistol grip doesn't hurt my feelings, either. As usual you have impeccable taste....and, I suspect, a walk-in gun safe!
