Been a long wait but as always, well worth it. I knew I wanted to start with a 98k action and after scratching around for a while, I found one I felt was worth building off of. Decided early that this rifle would be used as a stalking rifle and as such would only have iron sites and the bridge was to be left alone. Looking forward to getting out to the range and see how she does. Below are the details.

275 Rigby Erma Code 27 Date 1939 Action
Oberndorf contour 25" Douglas barrel
NECG front pin and rear fixed sight with 2 flip ups
Barrel stud
Stock blank was picked up at DSC in 2019 from Luxus

That’s sexy
 
Appreciate the kind words folks. Have a couple more blanks stashed away so guess it's back to the drawing board.
 
Well done, you had a action and a plan. Beautiful rifle that you will enjoy afield for life.
 
Another handsome piece I’d be afraid to take into the field!

Good Afternoon,
How firm are you on your Dakota 416? I am highly interested but looking at a few different guns currently.

Best,
BJ

What is the minimum you would take.

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
