Description:
I will be selling a few select rifles out of my personal collection. This one is a very fine John Rigby & Co classic bolt action rifle in the venerable .275 Rigby cartridge (aka 7x57 Mauser). This rifle features an Oberndrof mauser action with M70 style safety with “SAFE” in gold and H&H scope mounts with 30mm rings engraved “John Rigby & Co” and serial numbered to the gun. The scope installed is a Swarovski 2.2-9x42 Habicht Nova. The barrel is 25” featuring two folding leaf express sights and a hooded front gold bead. This rifled is cased with full accessories and test target from Rigby. The stock is a a nicely figured dark walnut with rich and warm oil finish and this red recoil pad. The stock also features a traditional English rear sling swivel. Front sling swivel is properly barrel mounted. The rifle comes cased with full suite of accompanying Rigby accessories (including the keys!). The case and accessories are like new.
This rifle was made in 1956 for Mr Kleinwort, Head of Kleinwort-Benson Investment Bank in England. He died in 1985.
