Very nice. Exactly like mine. What are the Rigby & Mauser serial numbers? What is the barrel address?

Jens,

Absolutely beautiful! The sophisticated simplicity of the lines is something to give an eye for!

Is this going to be one of the rifles that you hunt with in Africa later this year?

Very good hunting, my friend!

Thank you all Gents..

Here is a picture of my rigbys...



The .303 will only get a slight touch of some rust blue on boltshroud, extractor + on the left side of the reciever. Have now handled both rifles, I was very surprised the the .303 weighed the same as the 400/350. It most be the takedown assembly/guide, that gives the x-tra metal??

Thanks mehul.

No unfortunatly not, will the .350 go to africa...but next time perhaps. I wasn`t sure the gunmakers could get all things done in time.
Think of this Mehul: A 10Bore Manton + a 400/350Rigby..a good setup for sport from Naini Tal to Mysore in the south !!
