Drop box bottom metal, slanted for rimmed cartridges, has hinged straddle floorplate retained by button release in trigger guard bow. (These slant box magazines make the best belted magnum conversions because the belts on the cases can’t catch on each other.) Floorplate is engraved “Calibre .375 H&H Magnum”. Rigby number is on trigger guard bow. Single pull trigger has had finger blade stippled. Nicely marbled and well flame figured European walnut capped pistol grip stock measures 14″ over Silver pad and features classic Rigby styling with wide chamfer to ejection port, and short forend.

PROVENANCE: Richard Schreiber Collection. CONDITION: Excellent, as refinished. Metal retains nearly all of its restored blue, with slight silvering on high points. Stock retains nearly all of an oil refinish with a few light marks. Pad installed at time of refinishing, is a bit squished, checkering lightly worn, does not appear to have been re-cut. Bore is excellent, bright, sharp, and shiny throughout. Action is smooth. Scope is excellent, with some light scratches and other marks from rings. Optics excellent. Case is excellent, with a few light marks on exterior. Straps and handle are very fine. Interior cloth is excellent, with only a few light rubs and marks. Accessories are excellent. Most of these early Rigby .350 rifles were converted to .375, as it does make an excellent conversion to a cartridge with worldwide availability. 4-45919 (6,000-9,000) – Lot 2490
