Reimer Johannsen 416 Rigby

Reimer Johannsen Magnum Safari chambered for the might .416 Rigby. The magnum length, double square bridge action is fitted with an EAW swing mount with 1” rings and a Swarovski Habicht 1-5-5x20mm scope, has a M70 type 3-position safety, and has as drop-belly magazine that holds 4 rounds down with enough room to close the bolt on a chambered 5th round. The straddle floorplate has an inside-the-bow release.  

The 25” barrel is nicely tapered with an island rear sight base, banded sling attachment, and a banded foresight. The rear sight has 1 standing Express sight with two folding leaves (50, 75, 100 yds) each one lined in gold with the yardage engraved on the two folding leaves. The foresight has a single brass bead on its sight blade with an H&H type “moon-sight” that folds out of the way towards the muzzle. The walnut stock has a very dense grain and was expertly laid out for strength, with a traditionally shaped RH cheekpiece with a shadowline and a full pistol grip with a solid steel, two-screw grip cap. 14 ½" LOP over a rubber recoil pad, a single steel recoil bar, and an ebony forend tip. Two-screw, inlayed rear sling attachment on the toe line.  

The rifle is very good condition overall and only shows signs of use under close inspection. An action and rifle built with the proper proportions to handle this massive cartridge, this is a very nice, custom made big bore bolt action magazine rifle set up and ready to hunt.
