*HOLLAND & HOLLAND DANGEROUS GAME BOLT RIFLE BUILT ON MAUSER MAGNUM SQUARE BRIDGE ACTION WITH SCOPE.

SN 100986 (3465 H&H number). (ca 1970) Cal. .375 H&H MAG. At the time this rifle was built, finding a magnum Mauser action was a daunting task. It appears that this action was sourced from an old Rigby no. 5357, with this number on receiver ring under Mauser number. This rifle has 25″ tapered round bbl with sleeved-on base for one standing, two folding leaf express rear sight; partially sleeved-on ring for sling loop, and sleeved-on high front ramp holding silver bead front. Ramp is fitted with Holland & Holland folding sight protector. Top of bbl is engraved with H&H name and Bruton Street address, top rear with caliber, and left side with London nitro proofs. Commercial Mauser magnum length square bridge action has been fitted with H&H QD scope bases, front base screwed through side wall, and rear dovetailed through square bridge. Bolt knob has been checkered, and handle cutaway to clear scope. Orig flag safety has “SAFE” gold inlaid. Commercial trigger has been fitted with safety on right side of action tang. Drop box bottom metal has hinged floorplate retained by button in bow. Front of bottom metal is engraved “Made in England”. Floorplate is engraved with “4. Cartridges” and H&H SN is on trigger guard bow. Well marbled European walnut pistol grip stock measures 14-3/8″ over brown Old English pad, and features shadow line Monte Carlo cheekpiece, point pattern checkering, forend tip, recoil bolt, steel grip cap with trap holding spare front sight, and a sling loop matching that on bbl, along with a gold oval engraved “J. J. P.” on toe line. A nickel Supra 2-1/2 X scope with three post reticle is in soldered-on H&H rings, top of rear ring engraved “Holland & Holland” “No 3465″. Drop at heel: approx 2-3/4″, drop at Monte Carlo: approx 2-1/16″, drop at comb: approx 1-13/16″. Weight without scope: 9 lbs. 3 oz. LOP: 14-3/8”. CONDITION: Very fine, as refinished. Metal parts retain nearly all of a good rust re-blue, with only some slight high edge wear. Stock retains nearly all of a bright varnish refinish with some light subsequent marks, checkering re-cut. Bore is excellent. Action is smooth. Scope is excellent. 52503-1 MGM (10,000-15,000) C&R – Lot 1578
