John Maiden Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Can anybody please let me know if they find a large calibre, Bolt Action rifle for sale. I have been looking for one for myself for a few weeks now. I went to the Phoenix meeting at Bisley but no joy. It must be minimum .375 H & H and in good condition. .458 Winchester Magnum is acceptable or even .416 Rigby as a last resort. If anyone knows of one of these hiding away somewhere can you please PM me. Thanks, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Try the Holt's auction in London on 22 June. The online catalogue (www.holtandcompany.co.uk) might tempt you. There is a Wulf .416 Rigby, a Reimer Johannsen .500 Jeffery and a high-spec Schiefer .416 Rigby, amongst other large calibre rifles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Maiden Posted June 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 It'll be used for Feral Water Buffalo in South East Asia. Distance is 70 - 140 yds. I don't want to spend too much. About 12 yrs ago I sold an immaculate Parker Hale 1100m African Magnum in 458 Win Mag for £300. I wish I could buy it back for a similar price !

Baldrick Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Shame you sold that Parker Hale. Keep an eye on Guntrader, as a few .458s pop up on there. Are you aiming to get a Mauser action rifle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
