Want To Buy Left Handed 416 Rem Mag

[HBartley]

Im looking for a nice lefty 416 rem mag. Winchester M70, Dakota Arms 76, Parkwest Arms 76, something along those lines.

 

[rookhawk]

Why not the more valuable and more popular 416 Rigby? Way easier to find in fine arms, and has resale value the 416 Rem does not?

 

[HBartley]

Im not too picky on rem mag or rigby. Do you have one for sale?

 

[BeeMaa]

There is a big difference in price and quality between a Win M70 and a Dakota 76. Especially if it were one of the early Dakotas, before 2009.

If you are looking in this range, you should also consider a CZ550 with an AHR 3 upgrade. That would put it at or above the pre-2009 Dakota depending on the timber.

At this price point, you should be picky. Hell a Heym Express Magnum Bolt Action is not far off of one of these.

Im aware of the price range on what I'm looking for. 1500-15k. I can have a new Parkwest built for 13500 the way I want it but it's 10-12 months build time. Aware of the quality difference also, but for the right price I can have some work done to any rifle and make it suit me

I asked because lefties don’t have the same options as righties, but a 416 Rem is not a desirable caliber, and a 416 Rigby is. You’re going to pay whatever you’re going to pay, but in a righty config a 416 Rig is much more desireable.

There is a very nice LH Dakota in 416 Rigby on GI right now for just over $8k. That gun is far more desirable than a 416 rem, and it costs $5000 less than a new Parkwest.

I seen that. It's a nice rifle and doesn't appear to be going anywhere. I would like to see if there are any other options before I jump on the first thing I see

Why not something in a classic caliber like the 404 Jeffery?

Proven hunting rifle with African provenance: one-shot Cape buffalo and successful on other plains-game species. Includes Tally QD bases & rings. Hits hard for a dangerous-game caliber, but recoil off the sticks is hardly noticeable and is easily manageable with the stock profile.

Im really wanting a classic nice quality wood stock in a 416

 

[Mauser3000]

If I were you, and I’m also a lefty, buy the Dakota on guns international. It’s a beautiful rifle and classic styling. I would buy it if I was in the market. There was a wonderful Fredrick Beasley left hand 416 Rigby for sale a while back and I couldn’t believe it lasted as long as it did. Us lefty’s are a strange bunch.

Just my 2 cents.

I may have to check that out…

Hold the line on resellers and scalpers: the one listed for 5k on GB was purchased for 2400. Same guy is doing that with many left handed guns.

Yeah, i was looking at that one myself; just upset that I missed it at auction and now it’s being resold for a much higher price.

There is a LEFT HAND Dakota 76 in 416 Rigby on Gun Broker.
$8500

I’d have to sell my 450 Dakota. That’s too nice of a rifle to do that. Plus I have enough ammo and reloading supplies to do the kind of hunting I want to do the next 10 years…

If I didn’t have it, I’d be looking at auctions and one in 450 Rigby or 416 Rigby…

Sadly, I know exactly what ones you are talking about.

Not that I completely disagree with you on the issue as a strategy, but if there is a perceived, or even real, value on any resale rifle, I would consider it. Unless the seller somehow got it illegally. Hard to disparage a guy for getting good deals on rifles and offering at good resale value. It’s a free market and there are plenty of sellers on AH that offer nice rifles at great value and no one is questioning how they obtain them and/or at what cost. Unless I’m missing something?

That said, I like a great deal too! I just don’t have the time or energy to search and bid on rifles at discount auction houses or sites.

To each their own…

Im not sure that 5k for a rem 700 would qualify as a “good resale value” though. Im good with buying low and selling high, but at some point it gets ridiculous. In the end excessive greed will break them all. Bulls make money and bears make money, but eventually all greedy hogs get slaughtered. With the persistent inflation, terrible jobs market, and various eco indicators all pointing towards a downturn, I'm fine waiting for a bit.

This exactly. The guy probably paid half of what he is asking and stuff isn't even going for half of some of the prices now. I was at a gun shop last week that sold more decent stuff and the guy said it's tough right now and sold me a new left handed rifle at less than cost because he didn't want to sit on it for any longer.
