*ASPREY ONE-OF-A-KIND FULL STOCK SPORTING RIFLE WITH SCOPE AND CASE. SN 5007. Cal. 375 H & H Magnum. For over two centuries Asprey has been known for only the highest quality. When they started producing guns in the 1990’s, they continued this tradition. This finely crafted rifle with its understated elegance is a testament to this. DWM Mauser action is fitted with 25-1/2″ round traditionally shaped bbl, and H & H style matted quarter rib, with one standing two folding leaf gold line express rear sight dovetailed through. Sight is marked for 100, 200, and 300 yards. Quarter rib is complemented by matching front base with Westley Richards inspired folding front sight protector, which nests into mortise in ramp. Front bead is longitudinally dovetailed into the ramp. “Asprey” is inlaid in gold on top of bbl with address “New Bond Street. London” engraved. Action has been fitted with Holland style claw mounts with pivoting lock on front mount, which is affixed to side wall. Commercial trigger has been installed. Action tang has been fitted with sliding safety (“Safe” inlaid in gold), and a further extension which continues up and over comb. Bolt knob has been turned down and swept back in FN style with pear-shaped engraved knob. Custom bolt shroud has 3 position Model 70 type safety with arrow pointer on lever and “F” “-” and “S” on shroud inlaid in gold. “Blackburn” magnum bottom metal is inlaid in gold with “Asprey London” and “.375 H & H”. Bottom of trigger guard bow is inlaid in gold with SN “5007” (probably the seventh rifle made). Very finely streaked and lightly figured European walnut full length stock measures 14-9/16″ over black leather covered pad, and features large traditional shadow line right hand cheekpiece, case hardened and engraved stock bolt, case hardened trap grip cap, blued steel nose cap, and sling swivel studs. Checkering is at 22 LPI with mullered borders. Matching forend checkering covers 11-1/2″ of stock and wraps all the way around. A gold oval is on toe line engraved with initials “JNC”. Drop at heel: Approx. 2-1/4″, drop at comb: Approx. 1-5/8″. Weight without scope: 9 lbs. 10 oz, LOP 14-9/16″. Swarovski 1.5-6X42 Habicht Scope with duplex reticle is in claw mounts, engraved “Asprey” and SN on rings. Brown pebble patterned leather case has brass corners and circular brass central medallion engraved with “J.N.C”, and is lined with maroon cloth with brown leather gold embossed Asprey label.
