Comment: Very, very rare commercial magnum Mauser in .416 Rigby built for an Aussie farmer in 1956 by the German retailers, Waffen Frankonia - Wurzburg, the Cabela’s of Europe. Barrel is marked as such. Rifle was original Rigby-style and had shot one box of ammo when Col Allison bought it and had it lovingly refurbished. All metalwork by Rob Blomfield of Sunshine Coast Gunsmithing. Features drop magazine, push-button floorplate, Model 70-style safety, express sights and barrel-band sling swivel. Barrel carries a threaded cap when the Holland & Holland muzzle brake is not in use.

Stock wood is selected exhibition grade, dense Turkish Circassian walnut in very rare and bold tiger-striped pattern on both sides. The blank was held by Col for 40 years waiting for the appropriate big rifle. Classic Ross Waghorn stock with buff horn fore-end steel grip cap and gold butt shield (no initials) with Decelerator pad. LOP: 14-1/2 inches. Plain original stock available if required.
Scope is Leupold VX-111 illuminated, 1.5-5 x 20m in Talley QD mounts. Comes with RCBS dies, 38 new cases loaded with Woodleigh solids and SN SF pills, plus 12 unloaded cases and a small selection of Woodleigh projectiles. Shoots just over ½ MOA at 100 yards.
