I have been doing quite a bit of culling in my gun safe the past few years. Trying to move out safe queens and things I no longer use. Went to the Fort Worth Cabela’s Wednesday and after the smoke cleared, I walked out with a new Rigby Big Game in 416 Rigby.

Nicely done!
 
Wish I had a an excuse for one. Really like my Highland Stalker in .275.
 
Beautiful rifle, congratulations
 
Awesome rifle! Congrats!
 
Congrats on purchasing a great rifle.

That’s on my wish list….
 
Congratulations! I bought my 416 Rigby Big Game a couple of years ago and christened it on a hunt in Limpopo in July this year. It's a beautiful rifle and performed very well on buffalo, roan and golden wildebeest. You will love your Rigby.
 
Congratulations! That is a great rifle! And with some upgrades I see from the case coloured pistol grip cap. It’s not too clear on the photo’s but that’s the double square bridge version I believe? What kind of scope will you mount?

One of these days I’ll be going for one too! Well done!
 
What a beautiful rifle! Congrats!

It is the double square bridge. I have a Swarovski 1-6i that I am thinking of putting on it.
 
Redleg: a Rigby Highland Stalker in .275 at: https://auctionet.com/en/1781365-steffos-rigby-highland-stalker-cal-275-rigby

You've got just under 10 hours to bid!

It looks like the vendor wants too much, though, for what is, after all, just a Mauser with some nice wood. Note that the Leica scope on it is £1,000 on its own.
I have owned one since their first year of production - in .275. I have hunted the Hill country with it and Zambia. It also has a Leica scope on it (like most of my rifles). Perhaps you might actually pick one up before drawing too many "clever" conclusions about the rifle or your fellow members? :unsure:

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
