Thanks guys for the insight! I was all hot and bothered about the Rigby at CSMC as well.

I won't rule it out yet, but will really take a close look before buying.

There is a beautiful Rigby on the Holland and Holland New York Gun Room site. BUT....She too has been monkied with...Completely re-done to be exact, including being re-chambered to .470. Beautiful rifle though (kinda like a woman that has had all of the "work" done - better to look at, than to buy!!!)

I really wish that if folks are going to mess with these rifles they'd at least do them back to original specs - if they must goof them up at all.

I have a 1920 Rigby Boxlock that is an original .470, was re-finished at rigby's in 1981 and is in near-new condition - bad enough that she was re-done, but not nearly as horrible as re-barreling and rechambering.

Check out the H & H site:
