Westley Richards Best Quality bolt action magazine rifle chambered in the timeless .416 Rigby. Completed in the early 2000's, the rifle is built on a modern M98 action that is of true magnum length, with double square bridges, a drop-belly floor plate giving the rifle a capacity of 4 rounds down with enough room to close the bolt on a chambered round. The action is fitted with H&H style 30mm quick release scope rings. The bolt knob has 3-panel checkering and the bolt body is spotted with a 3-position M70 type safety. 

The 25" barrel (24 1/2" outside the action) has a W.R. pattern "tiered' quarter rib with 1 standing/2 folding leaf Express sight. The standing bar has a gold triangle and the folding leaves are lined in gold. Each sight is engraved with its respective distance (50, 100, 150 yds). Combination front sight has Westley's patented folding foresight protector. 

The nicely figured stock has a traditional beaded RH cheekpiece with a 14 3/8" LOP over a black rubber pad, a full pistol grip with a trap grip cap, a single steel recoil bar, and an ebony forend tip. The stock has a wrap point pattern checkering on the forend and a two panel checkering on the grip. 

The rifle remains excellent overall with just a few handling marks here or there, but showing little to no use. 

An outstanding modern best quality English made rifle in one of the most iconic big game cartridges ever written about and ready for immediate delivery.
