Description:
Based on an Anson & Deeley boxlock action with a clover-shaped screw-grip third bite, disk-set strikers, two triggers, and a manual safety. The action has about ¼ coverage of traditional scroll engraving with a border design, “SAFE” is inlayed in gold. The engraving extends onto the barrels’ quarter rib and the barrel are engraved: “Sighted for Rigby’s Special High Velocity” on the left barrel and “.350 No. 2 Cartridge – Bullet 225 Grains” on the left barrel.
The saddle-lump barrels remain their original 26” and are fitted with 1 standing/2 folding leaf rear sight (100, 300, 400 yds) and a ramp foresight with a thin blade and brass bead.
The stock has a full pistol grip with a solid steel grip cap that is also engraved and a guard tang that extends to the grip cap. Traditional drop points and point pattern checkering on the grip and forend. Splinter forend has screw-grip lever forend latch, a classic Rigby feature. There is a sling eye mounted to the bottom of the barrels and between the grip cap and stock oval on the toe line of the stock.
The 26" barrels’ rib have dovetail lumps, and an engraved quarter rib that has been fitted with slotted scope mounts and rings (included). The mounts were engraved to match but there is no place for a scope in the Maker’s case with the rifle.
Rifle remains very good to excellent as partially refinished. The barrels retain about 95% of an old re-black (presumably done when the scope mounts were installed). The action is a silver patina with no traces of case colors left. Engraving remains nice. Bores are excellent, barrels are a bit loose on face, but and ejectors are strong. Overall, in very good condition.
Finding an original Rigby .350 No. 2 that has not been re-bored or had the barrels cut is quite a feat...
