Description:
BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM ENFIELD P17 APEX RIFLE CO. .416 RIGBY BUILT BY SAM MAY, SUNLAND, CA CIRCA 1960'S -- 24" BARREL -- SAM WAS A FANTASTIC BARREL MAKER THAT EMPLOYED EXCELLENT GUNSMITHS TO PRODUCE HIGH QUALITY HUNTING RIFLES THAT STARTED WITH HIS BARRELS -- SAM'S GUNS WERE MEANT TO BE USED, HIS ATTENTION TO FIT AND FINISH WERE EXCEPTIONAL AND THIS GUN IS NO EXCEPTION. NO "LIPSTICK ON A PIG" HERE! THIS RIFLE IS A TACK DRIVER. SAM BORED SOME INCREDIBLE "CUT RIFLING" BARRELS. I SHOT THIS RIGBY FROM 100 TO 200 YARDS ON THE STICKS THRU THE PEEP AND CENTER PUNCHED A DOZEN ROUNDS ON A 4 INCH PLATE. -- INCREDIBLY ACCURATE AND INCREDIBLY SMOOTH ! -- THE RIFLE BOASTS "PH" CONFIGURATION WITH LIGHTLY OPEN GRIP, GRADUAL SWEPT LENGTHENED BOLT HANDLE THAT SITS BACK AND ABOVE THE FINGER , PARALLEL COMB AT 2" TO LYMAN PEEP " ABSOLUTELY PERFECT ALIGNMENT FOR QUICK AQUISITION OF REAR AND FRONT SIGHT -- THE BARREL HAS A FULL CHAMBER PROFILE THAT GRADUALLY TAPERS TO THE FRONT WITH THOUGHT GIVEN TO WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION OVER ITS LENGTH -- THE STOCK HAS SOME OF THE BEST ACTION/BARREL INLETTING I HAVE SEEN ON A RIFLE AT ANY PRICE, ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! -- WOOD TO METAL FIT WAS DONE WITH THE SAME CARE AND ATTENTION TO FUNCTION WITHOUT HAVING TO GLASS BED THE RIFLE -- I HAVE HAD THE ACTION OUT OF THE STOCK AND IT FITS PERFECT AND RELEASES WITHOUT BIND OR MARING OF THE INTERNAL WOOD OR VARNISH, AGAIN, PERFECTION ON THE LINES OF A VERY EXPENSIVE RIFLE. THE TRIGGER IS AN ORIGINAL ENFIELD/MAUSER STYLE TRIGGER THAT HAS BEEN WORKED AND POLISHED TO BREAK OFF CRISP AT 3lbs 7oz WITH CUSTOM COCK ON OPENING CONVERSION -- LASTLY, THE RIFLES BALANCE IS DEAD ON THE CROSSBOLT. THIS GUN WAS DESIGNED AND HAND BUILT TO BALANCE ITS WEGHT BETWEEN YOUR HANDS ALL THE WHILE MITIGATING RECOIL. ITS A PERFECT 9lbs 3oz, HANDLES AND BALANCES LIKE A DG RIFLE SHOULD. THIS .416 IS ENJOYABLE TO SHOOT AND DEADLY ACCURATE -- THERE ARE ALOT OF COMMERCIAL MODERN RIFLES THAT CAN BE PURCHASED TODAY IN THIS PRICE RANGE IN .375 TO .416 HOWEVER NOTHING NEW COMPARES TO THESE OLDER GUNS LIKE THIS SAM MAY APEX. THEY WERE BUILT WITH LIFE BUILT IN THEM. BUILT RIGHT, BUILT TO LAST ! I WILL BE LISTING OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS SOME EXCELLENT BIG BORE AND PLAINS GAME/NORTH AMERICAN STOPPING RIFLES BOTH BOLT ACTION AND DOUBLE . GET READY FOR THAT NEXT SPECIAL TRIP.
NOTE:
