"As an aside, I was in the H&H gun room in NYC this week and I saw a beautiful rigby sidelock 1912 in
450ne that had been rechambered and rebored to 470NE. They wanted $55,000USD for it. I was pretty
surprissed, does that not seem just a little (2x to much) steep? "

The rechambering is not a problem as it was almost certainly done in the UK and done well, reproofed.
This double is one of the best of the best in a Classic stalking configuration and in excellent condition
by the looks of it.

Re price - you get what you pay for and don't forget, Holland back up what they sell so of course
it will be (slightly?) higher than others.

At the the level and market segment the guns they sell are pitched at, it doesn't matter
whether it's 45, 55 or 65.

It's expensive to most of the market that eyeballs Merkels, Chapuis and lower grade, well used
English guns. To someone who wants an "English" Rigby to go on Safari and wants it
now, there it is, available now, no waiting.

That's just my HO on the market.

PS - IF it's the Rigby Bissell Rising third bite sidelock, then it is even better than a
Rigby made on a Webley action.
