Hallo,

looks great!!!

do you know something about the technic facts (weigt, barrel-length etc.) and the price.
It looks not differnt about the Johannsen Safari-rifles here from Germany.

Maybe the new southafrican Guns are made for good old calibres like the 8x75S, .350Rigby Mag., 11,2x72Schüler with the longer magnumrecievers and .318Westley-Richards, 9x57, 10,75x68 and .425Westley-Richards with standart-recieverlength.

regards
Manolito

Beautiful rifles; don't see anything funny unless the middle rifle is for a wrong-handed shooter.
More details please.

Yes, the middle one is the only lefthanded double square bridge Mauser magnum copy action to leave the Vektor factory that I know of. It was made into a .450 Rigby by a SA gunsmith, Gerrie Coetzee, (others also build by him), originally for Casy Lewis, the former head of the custom shop of Vektor, also a former SA airforce pilot. He sold the rifle to a SA hunter for approx. US$ 10 000 recently. Beutiful rifles IMHO.

Ndumo,

Great looking rifles, I've found a few of lefthanded vektor when I searched for a magnum mauser action

Cheers
Johan

Sorry, my mistake its a .416 Rigby, and the other 2 rifles are .450 and another RH .416. Barrel lenths are 22.5, ecept the RH 416, which is 24.5 inches.
