Yes this was a limited run of 250 rifles. The 275 Rigby from last year are selling close to 2 grand now. You can still find these on gunbroker at a decent price. I got mine from Whitaker guns and I'm impressed with how that operation is ran. Do not hesitate too buy a firearm from them! Last edited by 79S; 05/18/18. Originally Posted by Bricktop Then STFU.

You all know the drill fire a shot clean repeat for 10 shots then fire 3 then clean. Anyhow here are the targets The 5 shot groups are shots 6,7,8,9,10 federal 140 fusion ammo 2nd group fired after 10 shot break in. 51.5 grs RL 26 140gr nosler 3rd group same bullet 4th group same bullet This is probably the load I'm going to stick with 52.5 grs rl26.
