High End Krieghoff Bolt Action 416 Rigby
A friend showed me this rifle on the range a few weeks back. I don't know very much about it, but I thought somebody might be interested in seeing a few pictures...

What little I do remember from our conversation about the rifle:
- apparently this is pretty much a "one off" bolt action rifle Krieghoff had built. I believe the original idea was to market these in the States as a match for the Krieghoff DGR double rifles. The idea seems to have come to nothing, and my friend located this on a gun rack at Krieghoff's.
- length of pull seems to have been extended a bit, thus the funny white spacers. Not quite sure how long it is now??
- the trigger was very nice for a big bore.
- not sure what action this is - I don't think it is a Prechtl.
Other than that, I don't have much information - except that my friend mumbled something about selling the rifle, should the right offer come up.

Enjoy - mike

Amazing rifle. I missed an opportunity to buy a 1920s made Krieghoff 30'06 a few years ago. Similar quality just older.

All that beautiful work.... and that has to be the worst gold inlay of a buff I've ever seen.
