Back when men were men, and recoil-absorbing butt pads were for sissies

Amazing old rifle, thank you for the pictures.

Pant! Love the Rigby, but love the low scoped Mauser also. So much cooler than the H&H style mounts that Paul Roberts put on the late Rigbys and others a few years ago.

However, we are in charge of a "best quality" restoration, without any alteration nor up-grade, only to permit at that fine Rigby to return to its past glory.
It's quite a challenge, .......

Great rifle!

Would a rifle like this, with a dovetail cut in the barrel directly above the chamber, be accepted for proof today? A sweated on female dovetail base, or one integral with a barrel band, seems like a much more elegant solution to the problem of locating the front base.

Does anyone know of someone in the US who is capable of supplying and installing rings like this on an original single square bridge Mauser action?

I had a couple of my square bridge Mausers up at Steve Bertrams shop. My Kurz is missing the button so we knocked around the idea of replicating one and I think he may have taken measurements. Never did the project so you would have to contact him to find out if he did.
The buttons are very standardised - the one from my TypeG fits the Kurz and fit another TypeB we tried as well.

The gun pictured above may have had its bolt release replaced at some time. Usually, the guns with this type of scope release have a divot taken out of the rear of the knurled surface on the bolt release to allow for the removal of the button. That is easily replicated as well.

Sorry Huvius, the bolt stop is the original one. That rifle is an early pre.WW1 and the modified release appeared latter.
All the parts bear the same serial number and the rifle is perfectly original, without any modifications from the day it leave the Oberndorf factory.
Notice also that making that kind of mount is not very difficult, a lot easier than doing a full handmade claw mount.
Will try to publish some pictures in the nearest future.

Hello DORLEAC,

This Rigby .375 H&H is one of the most beatiful Sporting Mauser rifles I ever saw...!
I have anothe question: What kind of trigger, the original, had this rifle? Was a modification of the standard two stage Mauser trigger to a single stage one? I have never seen one directly or in a picture. The shape and position of the trigger itself, moved slightly to a rear position in the Rigby Mausers, mainly the .275 and in this one, always intrigued me...
Thank you!

If the new Incarnation of the Rigby Company would make an exact copy of such a magnificent rifle, (and if had the means) thats exactly what I would buy, simple lines, no extra nothing, do everything (or almost) chambering ... whats not to like ?

Oh and since dreaming is for free, I would add that beathifull Brno ZKK 602 that Dorleac modified to 404 Jeffery in the best Rigby style, I think both this rifles are the epitome of gunmaking.

Now I crawl into my Cave again ...

The name, I will admit costs a lot, like an H&H bolt gun is $27,000 but are either that superior to either of these (for a lot less $) Mauser and Dakota
