I have owned 7 DRs in most popular calibers. I have not owned a 450 NE. I am reaching out asking if anyone interested in selling theirs? Thanks!!!
 
I just bought a John Rigby in 450 NE. I already got the Rigby ledger certificate 450 NE from Rigby which is always cool. It was built in 1906. It was recently rebarreled, reblued and the stock redone by T Page Wood of Bristol England. I now have everything to go with it. Just have to see if Trader Keith still makes #2 fillers otherwise have to cut my own open foam fillers. I saw an identical rifle, same caliber and Rigby in the same year and serial number also redone except not rebarreled like mine for 2.5 times what I paid on FI given I bought mine from an estate sale. As always it will be off to JJ Perodeau to check it out to make it mechanically perfect. Excited!
 
So cool to research people who first bought the Rigby I bought. In this case it was an Earl of England born in 1876 died in 1964 Richard Coke.
 
Here are some pictures. She is a plain lady but magnificent to me. She goes well with my 275 Highland stalker
