Will Rigby bring back their .350?
Will Rigby bring back their .350?
They've brought back rifles for their .275 and .416 cartridges, so what about the .350?

BaxterBI hope so. If just to have a decent brass option.

AtkinsonI seriously doubt it, The demand for the 350 just isn't there..Im sure they would build you one on special order however.

Magnum Hunter1Oh no. This is the last thread I need to see. I covet one to the point i have been contemplating building one. There is a pic of Karen Blixen's on the Nitro Express forums that I keep looking up. I keep talking myself out of it telling me that I won't carry either of the .375's I have and don't need it.

I have pics of that saved as well. Not sure if they are the same as yours. I share your sentiments.

SFRanger7GPI would call Marc up and ask about it.

AFRICAN LEADWOODIt's a great calibre. One of my buddies shoots one. Of course there are alternatives these days.... but it ain't the same.
I would like to see it make a comeback.

surefire7I'm afraid Ray is right.

But the fact cannot diminish my love for the 35 caliber.

I guess the fact that it isn't legal for some key African dangerous game species might have something to do with it; and although I'd love to hunt plainsgame with it, most guys wouldn't.
They will make you a London Best in 350.

AtkinsonAmerica has never had much use for the any 35 or the 8MMs, other than the 35 Whelen, which just keeps hanging on. speaks highly of the old war horse. Same for the 8x57, but that's because its a 98 mauser and lots of them showed up after WW2 and 99% of them are wearing a new barrel in a different caliber.
