Steve BertramAn incredible amount of accessories including one I had not seen before, a rear sight hood, and some rarely encountered such as a firing pin bushing wrench.

Michael RobinsonInteresting rifle. Is that the original buttstock? I have never seen one like that on a Rigby. With the hog back shape and large cheekpiece, it looks more Continental than British.

ZephyrWhat are you doing for Brass

Steve BertramCut down 9.3x74R is the simple answer, I have some correctly headstamped Bertram brass as well. This is an easy caliber to load for.

Tim CarneyGrateful for a picture of the proof marks, Steve. Regulated for the 225 grain bullet or the 250?? Do you have a copy of the Rigby gunbook notes?
Lovely.
Regards, Tim

Steve BertramHigh Tim,
The only info I have on the rifle was posted above and it came from the Rigby Historian. The rifle was proofed and regulated for the 310 gr bullet.
