I was seriously considering it, but now rather looking at another double rifle.Corjack wrote:Very nice? Are you going to buy one?

Davey is a living legend. A true mountain man and as hard as nails. I had no idea he was a dealer for firearms. You learn something everyday.

G'day Hendrik, do you know what price it's listed at?Hendrik470 wrote:Here is another kiwi Rigby - but one from the mid 50's

There are a few early Rigby's floating about over here. I had a play with a Rigby takedown in 303 British a couple of months back. Made about 1906 IIRC. She was in mint condition and was apparently made for one of the Viceroy's. Same bloke also has two other Rigby's, but I know that they have had work done on them over the years. Still very nice rifles.
Cheers

Re: New Zealand Rigby
Yep, that was a good price. Probably explains why she's gone.
Thanks mate.
