Tim Sundles,president of Buffalo Bore Cartridge Co is convinced it is time to take another look at the 350 /Rigby. His development will use a 250 grain bullet. He already has possession of hundreds of brass. While this rifle is to be a test platform...he also likes them pretty. The action is an unfired 1908 and the wood was imported directly from Turkey

I can’t open any of the pics.

I have no problem opening the pics. very nice classic rifle.
Duane why did the owner choose a simple ramp front sight instead
of the very popular banded front sights? Also is that ramp soldered or screwed on?

Duane. Send me the pics. No see 'um.

Custombolt : Thanks ..I'll do that !This was a make work for my friend's daughter.. We'll get it sorted out with your guidance ! As to the sights, they are soldered and screwed on (Ya know...belt and suspenders) I had a pretty tight weight goal...opted for every gram I could save..even to the thinner recoil pad.

At eight pounds, the rifle is still very pleasant to shoot with factory Kynoch

It will be interesting to see if this old classic makes a comeback. Seems everyone is always interested in the next "new"
thing...

I have to think that neither the ammo nor the rifles will sell in quantities sufficient to make any money.

But who knows?

Rich men always seem to need more toys!

Duane - oh yeah 'with my guidance'. Hah! Gave me a chuckle.

Duane, Tim does like pretty women and rifles, so do most of us if given a choice,
but on working rifles, especially for serious use on dangerous game, I am more of a fan of the Jerry Jeff Walker theory in that
I like my rifles a little on the trashy side.
With a good bit of honest wear and tear.

Very nice!!! Thanks for sharing. Really like the shape of the cheek piece, amongst other bits

Still no pictures.

Well there ya go. Another nice one.

Very nice.

That stock design looks very much in keeping with 1908 era Rigby/Mauser. Love it!

Duane asked me to post this for him:

Well,...maybe a perfect storm.. I attempted to change an item on my personal zone, the young lady doing the original post, was most likely over her head and I vented my disgust on the hatred being vomited on the political forum, And...I can no longer access AR!

My thanks to Roger for posting this, my admiration and heart felt thanks to Baxter B for kindly sorting out the photo deadlock

And.....458 WIN: perhaps I missed the point, but if you can't' find plenty trash women or trash guns, you're not looking very hard IGRIN)


About it ..seeya Duane

It is a beautifully done rifle but I don’t think I have ever seen that level of ornate wood on any working Rigby.

By todays standards the hard, solid and stable wood used on English best might look abit trashy

I hope Duane gets his chi sorted out. I miss his posts on this forum. PF for entertainment only!

Beautiful gun! Duane is the master! Funny enough I had one of his .404 Jeffery rifles built on a standard 98 action in the shop last week at the same time as an original London made W.J.Jeffery built on the same action. Duane's fed like butter. I had to work on the other gun to make it operate similarly.

9x57?
