I once had a Lancaster 400/350 Rigby O/U double rifle (made in Belgium). This was in the early 70's and there were no 300 grain .35 caliber bullets available, so I reluctantly let it and a Rigby 400/350 Mauser slant box, step receiver ring, single square bridge bolt gun go.

I once took the Lancaster for a walk, to see if there was anything on my farm to shoot. Much to my surprise, what I encountered was a ground hog, which for some reason had decided to climb a tree when he felt threatened. Big mistake. He was the only victim of the DR while in my possession.

A few years back, I had an opportunity to buy the Rigby rifle back and did. It had in the mean time been converted to a .375 H&H Magnum and I sent it to Lon Paul for restoration to the original caliber. Alas, it was in Lon's safe when his shop fell victim to a California wild fire. The original Rigby stock which I had located for the project also perished in the conflagration.
