Ruger #1-A .275 Rigby

[Prophet River]

We are still in contact with Ruger to make this project a reality. What we really want is 100 units made with our NZ walnut blanks (we have over 100 non exhibition blanks on the way here)
We are getting a warm feeling about the .275 Rigby but apparently the use of our wood may be less likely. However, Ruger has not said 'no'
They are working on a stainless walnut 250 Savage right now but I hope that, once they are complete, we may get this project done just like we did with the 303 Brit rifles. BTW, we are out of those again but have now sold 167
let me know if you are interested in one of the 275 Rigby rifles(of course, this is just the British name for the 7mm Mauser/ 7X57)

This might prove expensive! When I had my #1 .416 I considered getting a 7X57 and having it remarked .275 so I could have a brace of Rigbys. Hey, what happened to your post count?

.275

I'm still interested Clay, but would prefer the .275 get a longer barrel than the .303 British No.1. Love my .303 but dont need a twin.

Hey, what happened to your post count?

We opened a 'new account' on CGN as the old one was around before we retailed and the username 'SakoAlberta' did not reflect the company name. Hence our zero trader rating too

We had the same issue with the 303 Brits, people wanting different configuarations. I've thought of having a 1-S built but that may be a little big for a 7mm Mauser? We'll see what they will do

would have to wait to see pricing and final model settled on but i am interested I planned on building on one day with an octagon barrel.

I like the idea of a 275 H&H personally, too bad the correctly stamped brass is hard to obtain.

Likewise, if the #1A Rigby came with a 24" barrel, I would be much more interested.

now that's funny

I'm pretty sure it should be one of the factory standards...

 

[X-fan]

Stupid question (I should know the answer to this), but are the 7X57 and the 275Rigby exactly the same chamber?

 

[dan belisle]

Yes, they are. - dan

 

[dan belisle]

And actually, an Int in 303 would be cool too. - dan

 

[TangoKilo]

I'm interested...

But only if I can get mine in 7X57 MAUSER!!!

 

[dan belisle]

Those you can already get. No cachet there at all. - dan

 

[Why not?]

I would definitely be interested in a 24" barrel 275 Rigby.

When ruger made the 1-A's for us, they made about 10 Internationals too(RSI) but didn't announce then. They were 'given' to employees or used for fundraisers. I know this to be true as I saw one at a silent auction at a show in Las Vegas. It sold for about $2000 USD.
