Came across this break action Rigby, good shape. Label John Rigby and Co, Dublin, London
Any ideas on price? Thanks
Steve

Lots of variable to consider but a few thoughts....the cartridge not not exist in 1890. If it started life as a .303, then I likely sold that gun a dozen years ago or so and at that time if I recall correctly it brought $8500. Pictures sure would help.

If you end up with I would love to take a few measurements from it, I had it drawn up in Solidworks but in a PC crash I lost the model.

your are right. I think was made at the Sackett Street address which is 1908-1955.

That is not the gun I sold, I sold a top-lever hammerless rifle.

Lovely stalking rifle that, but I would think it would bite on both ends.

What does it weigh? Is that the original chambering?

A very retro rifle for the timeframe, by 1908 even hammerless singles had fallen out of favor with most shooters choosing a bolt rifle. You might consider getting a letter or contacting the firms historian on that one.

thanks.
We are casting the chamber to see whats up. Mic-ing the bore looks to be 0.357, so thought the 350.
Sent email to Rigby as they claim to offer a service to document their rifles, for a small fee. We will see..

My bet is .360 2&1/4", either bpe or nitro. Cases can be made from cut down 9.3x72r.

I think you are right.
Rigby has it made in 1875, single barrel express, 360 bore
Thanks for the inputs.
Steve
