Re: Mauser 100 year Centenary rifle in .416 Rigby?

I have one in .375H&H that I bought from Prechtl (who made them), for about Euro 3800. It was unused. I had him change a couple of things though; added a new bolthandle which is a tad longer, a new ERA trigger, had him machine in ERA mounts into the square bridges, and switched the safety to Prechtls 3 pos. side safety.

It shoots very well, and I can't say that I can complain much about the fit/finish. But then maybe this was a nice one, since he kept it himself?

I have seen that the new Mausers made by Sigarms available here in Norway are much higher priced though. About Euro 8000!
Exept for one made a couple of years ago that's priced at Euro 6800 in 416 Rigby. It's a bit rougher than the newest ones I've seen. The price is still too much IMO. It seems to me that Sigarms has set their prices way too high in general...










And here's proof that it actually works:
