Love it! I will soon have the identical gun only made in 1956 according to Rigbys ledgers. I will be posting pictures soon as well showing the reconditioning I too had done. Congratulations! Beautiful gun!!!

Congratulations, what a beautiful piece, I have a similar one made in 1903 as well. The serial number is 2143 and action number 4329. It is still in factory condition with a few dings and marks here and there. It has the shorter 20.5” barrel with detacheable scope mounts. Still hunt with it to this day and it is as deadly as a modern day highland stalker. Best of luck with your rifle and I hope you have as much fun as I do with mine!

Did JJ have to lift mineral oil out of the wood?

Very nice. This has 'proper' written all over it.

Of note 'telescope' is on the original ledger - 1903!
