Holy Crap!

How good is that.

No point buying Lotto tickets for the rest of your life Buckstix, your lifetime supply of good luck is done!



Hello Marrakai,
Thanks for the reply.

I still buy Lottery Tickets once in a while.

Nice gun and a dam good buy.



Hello Wayne59,
Thanks for the reply.

Yes, thats why I'm happy to share the story. Keeps people up-beat in these trying times.

Quote:

Quite a "find" indeed.



Hello Daryl_S,
Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I really didn't need another Rigby, but glad I got this one.

Quote:

Out of interest, what would you have been willing to pay for it?

What is the value of such a Brevex rifle?

I see the range was estimated as $4000 to $6000.



Hello NitroX,
Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure how high I might have bid. It depends a lot on how I feel at the time. Although Electronic participation is different than being there at the auction, one can still get wound-up with bidding enthusiasm. I think their estimate of value was spot-on.

Buckstix you are one luck sod!
Half your luck pulling off a coup like that - bloody awesome matey!
Would love to see what it can do, what loads etc that you'll cook up.
Now that it has a proper history & caliber - it's value has jumped remarkably.
Well done once again
93x64mm



Hello 93x64mm,
Thanks for the reply.

I'll be shooting it this weekend with some of my pet loads.

Nice looking rifle and in a fantastic caliber.. .416 of pretty much anything is good...

Congrats..



Hello Ripp,
Thanks for the reply.

I think 416 caliber is my favorite caliber, and I must admit I love the 416 Rigby caliber the most. It has its roots in Old World Big Game Hunting on the Dark Continent. I would have liked if this rifle turned out to be a 416 Weatherby Mag, because I don't have a rifle in that caliber - YET. I have 2 rifles in 416 Taylor, 1 rifle in 416 Hoffman, 1 rifle in 416 MRE, and now 7 rifles in 416 Rigby caliber. (I sold-off my 416 Rem Mag - didn't like it all that much because its a "too new" caliber)
