4seventy,

Thanks for the info. That is exactly the type of info I was looking for.

I got out to see the rifle today. It is a Rigby and marked as 350 Rigby. It's also on face and the bores look great. That's the good news. It looks like it spent many years in a less than ideal gun case. The right side of the gun has some visible pitting. Though none of it looks terribly deep. The only problem is the receiver is also pitted and thus the engraving on that side is in need of some serious work. The finish on the wood is also in pretty bad shape but the wood itself seems pretty sound without any really bad marks and no chips or dings.

The guy who currently owns the rifle said he has owned it for 15 years and never fired it. He received it after his Uncle passed away. It has no case or other goodies.

I arranged a day to shoot the gun as I managed to track down 2 boxes of Kynoch ammo. Before we shoot that day though he ok'd me to make a chamber cast and slug the bores. I will also probably be taking some pics at that time.

Anyway thanks again for the info and I'll try to keep you all updated.

Bill
