Today I spent a tense afternoonn watching the goodies and baddies go through the sporting gun auction at Bonhams in Knightsbridge.
I was lucky enough to be the bidder with the most staying power (or stupidity) for a .275 Rigby. I collect it next week.
This is why I was all hot and flustered, buck fever for a rifle at my age!

Yea, nice indeed. Hope it's as good as it looks.
I went through the catalogue; the gun that went fo 21,000 quids interested me but the one for 48 underneath it was more within my bank manager's estimates

It certainly could have been cleaned and their photographer should do weddings. Judging by the bargains available I should be getting my RFD ticket sorted out for this year!

Whatever the photographer's efforts that is a nice looking rifle 151, congrats on a good purchase.

Thanks lads, just waiting on my dealer delivering it, keep missing each others calls. Time to test it out in the woods!
