That is a lot of gun for the money. Honestly, I don’t care for the profile of the cheek piece area etc., but would certainly take one for R&D purposes to see if it grew on me. :)

Haaaaaaa. I hope everything worked out. Guy has not logged on since 2009. I did like the line, “My wife and his girlfriend . . .”:-)

The beauty is in the simplicity. Cheek piece on both sides. :-). Great universal client gun. :-)

A couple more bumps to the top and then I will see about having someone list it on guns international for me.

I like the 380 Nortfork softs at a mere 2200 fps. Then again, I am recoil sensitive. :)

GRB is rough on all fronts. My daughter has a couple volleyball tournaments there each year and everything around GRB is painful to me. I know absolutely nothing about event planning, but the Atlanta move made no sense to me (or many others). I'm still unclear (to me) as to what is truly...

Well, looks like face is .590. My memory was rusty. My digital calipers max out at 6”, but I pilfered these measurements from @JD Noblin on one of his old listings and looks like measurements are the same.

Yes sir. D'Arcy Echols built it and it is a fine rifle!

Bolt face is .585 and GMA trigger. I am out of town, but can more information to you tomorrow.

The way the stock “compresses” with proper torque specs is also consistent with their stocks.

That just may work. :-). Man, I thought this action would have gone quickly.

Check out MG Arms in Houston (Spring), TX. I see shades of their stock in the pictures.

Yeah, I think there are better options for you on that one. Thanks much.

The Rigby ammo I have is 3.63". Looks like right around 3.75 would be about the greatest OAL.

Think roughly the energy of 600 NE. 8200-8300 ft/pounds or 11,000J. I bought quite a few 650 gr. CEB raptors, which should be awesome, but have not loaded any yet. I have just shot the more mundane 700 gr.

Love it! Beautiful work!

Excellent. I was just taking a break and was wondering what I was missing:) Congrats on the buffalo. Will check back later.

Bump for the lefties making it to their battle stations.

There are still some 30 mm around. Look at mounting options for 34mm for your rifle(s). Look at the S&B Exos 1-8 as well.

I think 1” scopes are slightly more aesthetically pleasing on DGRs than 30 mm, but given limitations, especially for illuminated reticles, most of mine are 30 mm. I don’t believe I have actually seen 34 mm mounted yet (on a DGR). I have not checked lately, and perhaps the market is catching up...

The .475 A&M was admittedly one that I was scared of. A year or so ago I had somebody offer me one at an unbelievable price. I passed. :-). If rusty memory serves me right, the third rifle (or something like that) failed and injured somebody. Kind of like horses; if one scares you, don’t...

Cobb. Tommy Lee Jones’ greatest movie nobody has seen. :)

Because I am right handed. :) Should’ve paid more attention when I bought it. . Picture was somehow mirrored. :-) I was going to have a .450 Rigby built for a buddy of mine and then he came across one.

Dang it. I will go take a picture with my screen name and date as well.

Lefty manufactured for .416 Rigby. Pictures tell the story. Double square bridge action that holds 4 down. Factory GMA fully adjustable trigger. $3000 picked up in Austin, TX. I do travel to Houston, DFW, San Antonio and places in between. I will ship if your FFL accepts transfers from...

I think it would leave a mark. :-).

Man, that sounds awesome. If I was offered the same for free in 2026 I’m still not certain I would physically be able to pull it off. :-). Good luck with your training and have an awesome trip!

Stuuuuumpy! Good work. The south may not rise again young man, but . .

Here is an obscure one. . . “Know ye that a prince and a great man has fallen this day.”

Were any of those for the original 1226? I bet all were newer "supergrades".

Absolutely. I just hope Schmidt & Bender does not go to the 34 mm tube like others. If it goes that way, I will buy a couple more Exos !

Admittedly, and embarrassingly, I missed the third crossbolt. Just saw the other obvious butchering. Again, set realistic expectations with the estate. My evaluation has gone lower. Significantly lower. :-)

Me too. Mark has done me right for decades on numerous projects.

Agreed. Collector value is in unmolested state.. This has been butchered and set reasonable expectations with the estate. Likely 9-10K original. Butchered value is likely 4-6K.

I prefer checkering as well. I don't want something that will take the hide off, but do prefer some texture. Some beautiful examples here.

Oooof. That sucks! Hate to hear. Seems prevalent in these want to buy scenarios. Sickening.

Believe me, Cabela's/Bass Pro has offered up better deals than this on Travelers. Ooooof. :)

God bless Rush.

C. Big & Fast :)

Have free reins. Sounds like you have a lot of pictures (and likely at least rough measurements). A good taxidermist with fiberglass, bondo etc. can recreate him fairly close.

Yes sir. Think I bought mine on Amazon. I really like the Chuck’s in the boulders too. I hate getting into the big rocks, but did better with Chuck’s than stiff boots.

Amen! I have posted pics before, but Chuck’s with puncture proof/resistant insoles are my go to. Unless really cold or terrible thorns, I cannot think of better ( for me anyways).

I searched through the stash. One left, but not illuminated. A solid 1” illuminated would be a great scope for many applications. Good luck on the search. Report back if you find one!

Well I be a striped butt monkey! Good luck on the quest!

Great work! Looks great. Kudos for not calling this on a dugga boy. Not only a great taxidermist, but a fast learner. :-).

Doh! Well, that likely establishes it was fitting of the “good gun deals this week” classification.

Oh my goodness. That is a great price. However, I hate it when people do not list LOP!

Same here. I have several and did not know about the illumination option. That would be a heck of a scope!

I have been on horses and mules in the dark and there was no question who was in charge . . . they were! Gave them their head and prayed. :-). They knew the mountain better than I did! Glad Neil made it out without being injured worse!

No sir. Left shoulder and all was good. Miserable, but good. :-).
