Hey everyone, thanks for the input. It looks like I've

narrowed it down to 2 rifles (what a great problem to

have!).

#1: VINTAGE:

400/350 Rigby Farquharson, circa 1903. Originally came
with a scope & they have the original rings with matching
serial numbers. They also have a second set of identical rings
with a different serial number & a vintage Rigby scope.
It also comes with dies & a lot of brass, bullets,...

#2: MODERN:

Bailey Bradshaw new Farquharson action. I'm leaning
towards 30-06 as he mentions his current action will
accept this, plus I have two other 30-06 bolt rifles, dies
& tons of ammo, bullets,...

I put an offer on the Rigby, will know in the next couple of
days but it looks promising! If I get the rifle, then I have to
decide whether on not to drag it around & hunt with it alot?
A large portion of my decision will be whether the bores are
as good as described & how accurate it is. I've put quite a
few miles on my other vintage firearms (both shotguns &
double rifles) with no significant damage.
If I don't get the rifle, then I will contact Bailey Bradshaw &
get on his list. May discuss caliber in more
detail (30-06 vs 300 H&H) & other options

I will keep everyone informed on my progress, hopefully with
some pics as well.

Thanks again, Jim
