Rigby Sling

I have been directed to include some photos of the original sling which is included in the previous post. Apparently it is some what rare?

Still happy

Original quick detachable sling. I have seen a couple of those in my younger years, had no idea they were a Rigby sling.

I don't know anything about them at all. The sling was in the case with a leather pouch that had a rag and "made in england" stamped cleaning brush. Of course there is also the rod.

I think the swivels are the ones Parker Hale sold. If that's right, they should be right for that rifle if the delivery date of 1957 on the paper in your photos is correct.

I'm not sure about the sling, but it looks of that time also.

BTW I saw the rifle originally came with a Nickel 2.5X scope. It's a shame it's not still with the rifle, as they are wonderful sights.

Dad just gave me his old Nickel 4X, which he bought in 1959. It needs a complete rebuild, but I have located a gentleman up to the task, and then I will mount it to my Mauser 7X57. It will be nice to hunt with the scope my father looked through as he shot several hundred deer.

I don't know what happened to the original scope. The Kahles on their now seems up to the task as I intend to use the rifle for hunting as often as possible. Taking it out to sight in tomorrow and maybe collect a pig or buffalo. It would have been nice to have the original scope but you can,t have it all.Looked at the photos on the link you provided. Some nice items in there.

My .350 had that same sling.
