New here but I have numerous happy transaction on local guns forums in TN, I can provide. I do not know a lot bout these rifles but will try to answer all questions. I also have Guntab account, however I have not utilized it yet.

That was quick, as it should be for a cool gun.

I met with the seller face to face at my office today. This gun was exactly as described. I elected to pass but only because he also had a Ruger Safari Magnum in 416 Rigby that I chose to buy instead. Just FYI for those interested, he also has a Ryan Breeding 500J for sale that I think he intends to list here potentially. Based on my in person interaction today, I can vouch for him.

 

[dirtroadhound]

Thanks, this one is still available.

This is a very dangerous thing for me to see right now, someone please buy it soon or I might cave within a week or two. Great price and great chambering

I tried to help you but I upsold myself when I saw the other guns he had. You should buy it!

It doesn’t help that I already have 416 rigby brass, 416 bullets, and no dangerous game legal rifle in the safe…

@Rifleman97 There are laws against not having a DG rifle or 12 in the safe. Just saying.

I would love to see the .500 Jeffery

I have seen / held it. Let’s just say I’m glad I’m not a big enough boy to shoot it or I would be an owner.

You’re not helping!!!

@Rifleman97 You should get it and talk with someone who can upgrade the stock to an English stalking rifle style. With wood like this…

 

[19_A_CPT]

I can vouch for @dirtroadhound if anybody is interested but cautious.

I mean I'm sort of a scoundrel myself, so not sure how much my vouching helps.

And I definitely want to see the .500

Call out that this Ruger 416 Rigby has a New England Custom Gun aperture sight for the Ruger scope mounting system. Proper sights for a heavy rifle, on my 416 Remington, accurate to the limit of my eyesight (100 yards).
This rifle is a good deal.

@Rifleman97 I can give you the contact information for whee I got the stock set.
