What became of Harry Selby's Double Rifle ?
05/01/18 09:07 AM

I'm sure almost everyone has read the story of Harry Selby and his 416 Rigby rifle. The story goes that the .416 was purchased out of necessity after someone ran over his Rigby .470 Double Rifle. Apparently, the barrels were bent beyond repair.

I wonder what happened to the darn thing.... Did the .470 just get thrown into some garbage can and left behind ? Did the gun ever get sent back to be re-barreled or repaired ? Has it ever been found ?
