500Nitro,

The Rigby is an ejector rifle. There's no switch on the forend, so I assume it's not a selective ejector. I would assume that a selective ejector would enhance the value of the gun. But, I'm not sure. I've also had conflicting reports on side lever vs top lever. Some guys seem to think the side lever is the cat's meow, where other's say it would be worth more if it was a top lever. Personally, I love the side lever. It's the only side lever gun in the collection and I think it's a pretty cool design.

Jealousy mate, you have a top grade firearm there and don't let anyone tell you any differently. And in any case, if they want a top lever in that condition, it would be hard to find.

Sidelever or Toplever, it doesn't matter - in the day these guns were made, most top end guns were ordered by customers
to what they wanted so that is likely it had a sidelever - or he had a lot of guns made by Grant !!!! LOL.

I think yours has selective ejectors.

Top end of my price guide then ++++++ depending on the state of the market if you ever sold it.

Anyway, top gun and well done.
