Pre-war Rigby 275 for sale, factory lettered

[Green Chile]

Bump to the top. Lots of interest in the past but not sold yet. $6k for a pre-war Rigby....

Hi Green Chile,

Nice rifle to use! Seems to be made with a M98 Standard length action. Much better to me!
Good luck!

I’m shocked a REAL vintage Rigby is still available at this price. I get that it was modified and thus lowers collector value. But the patina is worth more to me than making a couple hundred bucks in profit.

Rigby should sell one that looks exactly like this one. Short, svelte, handy. Worn blueing and stock purposely aged to look like it came from the glory days.

Interesting and thanks for posting. When I asked Rigby for data on the serial, that's what came back in the letter. When I asked JJ what he thought about the gun, it was in good condition but had in his words, non-factory modifications. I just know it's the cheapest pre-war Rigby I have seen for sale and is a cool little gun.

But were the frt & rear sights re-regulated and zeroed (either with the peep sight or the folding express sight) after the barrel was chopped from 25” to 22”? POI would definitely be affected regardless of the .275 load.
