Rigby pre-war 275 with factory letter


Description:
This is a prewar John Rigby & Co .275 Rigby delivered from the factory on Aug 13, 1929. It was originally a 25” barrel but was cut down by a previous owner to a 22” barrel with ramp beaded front sight with two folding leaf express rear sights with leaves for 100 and 200 yards as well as the factory correct cocking piece mounted peep sight. It features a standard Mauser flag safety with “SAFE” inlaid in gold. The wood stock features an attractive leather covered recoil pad but the fore end has been cut down, also by previous ownership.  It also appears that there was a side scope mount at one time and the holes were professionally filled. This is not evident from the outside of the action as they did a nice job but can be seen in the bolt runners (see pic).  LOP is 13-1/2" to the end of the leather covered recoil pad and weight is 6.7 lbs.  I have added the Rigby factory letter and the gun's conditon was reviewed by JJ Perodeau.  It’s in good condition with the exception of the cut down stock and barrel length.  $6500
