Description:

This is a masterful example of a John Bolliger signature series custom rifle from Mountain Riflery Inc. John Bolliger began creating custom rifles in 1966 and is now regarded among the top rifle makers in the world. The barrel is fitted with ramped, hooded and beaded blade front and three leaf (one standing, two folding) rear sights on the matted solid rib with raised rear quarter with a central sling eye, a band of gold inlaid at the muzzle with engraving which spills up on to the sight hood, "Three Seventy Five/HOLLAND & HOLLAND" and "John Bolliger/RIFLEMAKER" on the left and right of the chamber respectively surround by engraving which climbs the side of the raised portion of the rib, and a gold band at the action. The Pre-64 Model 70 style action is similarly adorned with a band of gold inlay at the front and rear with sprays at the front and rear of both sides. Mounted atop the action in a pair of engraved rings is a Zeiss Diavari-C 1.5-4.5x18 scope. The floorplate and bottom metal have been engraved to match with the addition of a gold inlaid raised relief cape buffalo on the floorplate and blank initial shield on the triggerguard, and signed "GLIMM" on the floorplate at the hinge. Mounted in a magnificently figured walnut pistol grip stock with fancy fleur-de-lis checkering, contrasting forend tip, blued engraved grip cap with gold inlaid hunters star and wire border, shadowline cheekpiece, and Decelerator recoil pad. Includes a certificate of authenticity from Bolliger. Consignor states this was made by Bollinger Sr.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% plus original blue finish with limited handling marks, crisp engraving, and stock with a few dings and scratches and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. Optics clear, reticle crisp. This is a magnificent rifle worthy of the most prized game on Earth!
