The barrel is fitted to the blued Mauser type action which is marked with the serial number on the left of the front ring along with "RIGBY/.275/HIGH VELOCITY", partial serial numbers on various small parts, and a side mounted scope mount holding a Supra 4x36mm scope. The bottom metal is blued and unadorned aside from the partial serial number "5714" on the triggerguard. The rifle is mounted in a nicely figured and multi-point checkered pistol grip stock with rear sling stud and a serrated steel buttplate. Includes a leather sling.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally refurbished, retaining 95% blue finish, some loss of niter blue, some minor spotting, light high edge wear, a stress line at the upper tang, a few marks in the wood, and crisp checkering on the stock. Mechanically excellent. Scope optics clear.
