Here is one that I am lucky to own: It's based on a Webley 1902 action, retailed by Rigby. Rigby only made 44 of these. It was delivered on Nov 4th 1903 to Lt Col V M Stockley author of the 1913 book "Big Game Shooting in Burma, India and Sommaliland". Caliber is 400/350 NE. It also has the original scope mounts numbered to the gun. I only wish I had the case as well.

Farkey, that is a stunning rifle. Can you give us a full length look at it? What is its weight?

NICE rifle!

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! Barrel length is 27”, stock 14.5”, weight is 8lbs 6oz. It's marked “Special 350 Bore Rifle” and “For Special Cordite Cartridges Bullet 310 grains”. I have some old Kynoch 310gr solids that I put through it now and then. I'll shoot a side view pic tomorrow but here is one more of the other side that I have.

I'd like to post some of these photos as a permanent archive in the "Single shots ..." archive if no one has any objections?

A Single Shot archive would be a fine addition to the site.

Beautiful pictures!
