Rigby prewar takedown rifles
14/05/16 05:20 AM

I occasionally see Rigby .350 or .275 takedown rifles that have been converted to 'fixed barrel' with the takedown stock still in place. Are these conversions reversible - can they be converted back to takedown? Or could the conversion to fixed barrel be done in a way that would make it irreversible? (I want the answer to be 'no' they can all be converted)

I've never owned a takedown bolt rifle but have been thinking about them a lot recently. The advantages in storage and transport are pretty compelling - much less chance of a broken stock during shipment, for instance. Plus they just look good to me. I suppose the disadvantages are cost and lack of accuracy?

I guess the prewar takedown Rigbys cost more when new, but haven't seen an original price list. I also don't know whether they made the .303 or .400/350 or .416 in takedown form.

Grateful as usual for your insights.
