    Default Custom 416 Rigby - Value?

    TStone's post got me thinking about my 416 Rigby.

    Cape Buffalo on my bucket list is done, and so is bigger than Eland (or bite-prone) type game.

    Now for the trick question. What is the value of my (licensed till 2021) custom 416 Rigby? Average (fair) going rate, not trying to enrich myself.

    Low shot count (less than 200)
    Action - CZ 602 ZKK
    Truvello barrel
    Front and leaf sights
    One piece scope mount with Leupold Vari X III 1,5-5 x 25
    Good condition
    Tack driver - accuracy can be tested anytime

    Why are you selling? Its always difficult to recoup your costs when a rifle has been custom built. It's sometimes better to break the package up and sell the scope, basis etc seperately.

    Safe queen. Too many rifles. Mostly hunt Bushveld these days for which I have better-suited rifles. Also have long distance rifles. I'm not going to do any more buffalo hunting. When the boys eventually earn their buffalo ticket, there will be a couple of rifles (416, 404 Jeffrey. 500 Nitro etc) to choose from on the concession.

    Sure, it will be worth more split up, but I'd rather not if possible. One can load it up, and it is still spot on. Nice accurate rifle.

    Thank you. Thought you might appreciate it. Trying to tempt you..

    Would be so much nicer if it goes to a good home where it will see a bit more sunlight and perhaps another buff or two :)

    PS: Also hunted with Cunat, knows him quite well from all the time spend on the concession.

    Knowing next to nothing about big bore rifles or buffalo hunting, but knowing a little bit about yourself and TStone, and that you're both standup guys, I'd wager this is the ideal scratch for TStone's buffalo-rifle itch. How many rounds of 416 Rigby fit in that ZKK's mag? At least 4, I'd guess?
