Rigby 404 scope/mount

[gearguywb]

Picked up a 404 Jeff Rigby this week.

I have been using a Leupold LPVO on my 416. Thinking either another one of those or perhaps a Trijicon.

I have never mounted a scope on a Rigby action. Any particular suggestions. I see several options for quick release, but I don't think I need to go that route (although it would be nice.

Anything that I should be aware of mont/scope wise before I head down the rabbit hole?

being a new Rigby it has the typical bases/square bridges on the action ?

Well, as you know, your Rigby action is a Mauser (if current production). . I second the Recknagel system referenced above.

Thread 'Mauser M98 Magnum - Scope Mounts'

Dec 31, 2022

Hello all. I'm looking for advice on scope mounts (with 30mm rings or a Zeiss rail) for a current version Mauser M98 Magnum with a Double Square Bridge.

There's a good chance that someone here is using Recknagel/ERA pivot mounts on their M98 Magnum. Hopefully you still have the little box they came in, to look up the part number. I've looked everywhere in the Recknagel catalogue, to no avail. I'm told that these pivot mounts are not shown in the catalogue - bewdy!

Other options are the MAK two-piece mounts or MAKflex bridge mount or EAW mounts, but again, specific part numbers are...

Man, congrats on the new Rigby 404 Jeffery, that’s a proper dangerous game rifle. I picked up a similar one a while back (modern production on that controlled-feed Mauser-style action) and went through the exact same head-scratching on scoping it. I’d been running a Leupold LPVO on my .416 and loved the versatility, so I was leaning the same direction for the .404.

As long as it’s a double square bridge, the Recknagel are awesome. And the 30mm are most common although they started making in 34mm as well. I have the same set up on my Rigby BGR wearing a Z8i 1-8. Easy on and off, so easy, and always right back to zero.

Rivers & Glen looks to have them in stock, which depending on where you are, most the larger Rigby dealers (Gordys, Wolfs, Gentz) should have them as well. When I spoke to Cabelas right after they got their large batch of 404’s and 450’s in, the one thing they didn’t get was mounts for any of them.
