Description:
For sale, a very early production East African Model from Empire Rifles. Unknown the exact maker as the owner of Empire had nothing to do with manufacture and the records are gone, he simply sub'd the work out to various custom makers. That being said, whoever built this rifle new exactly what they were building and to a quality level that would take twice the price to duplicate today. This rifle is pictured and mentioned in Terry Weilands "Dangerous Game Rifles" book on page 99 as seen in pic. This is a really nice build, 22" barrel 1/4 rib banded hooded front sight, 1 standing and two folding express sights with gold line, long tang through wrist, Torx action bolts (I have the original flat heads), 14.25" LOP to a NECG black recoil pad. Two panel checkered bolt knob and jeweled bolt. Integral double square bridge german claw mount 1" scope provision and leupold VX3 1.5-5 scope included (standard duplex). There are initials in the gold oval, and there is an elephant track engraved on the trap door grip cap. This rifle is proven in Zim on a buff safari I took 2 years ago. Really accurate with multiple handloads. The rifle weighs 10.4 lbs without optic. Very manageable recoil due to the modern stock design. I've had a lot of rifles in my day, and IMO someone put a whole bunch of skill into this stock design. For a rifle to come up without thought for both irons and optic is rare, and this one does just that. The stock is made from a beautiful piece of Bastogne walnut, couldn't tell you the grade but it speaks for itself. It shows a little wear and bluing loss---honest wear from use in the field, few dings in wood etc. I'm happy to answer questions and provide more pics if necessary but please, serious inquiries only.
