Somebody needed a new screwdriver set. Looks like he used a tire iron on them!!! Mike

Built by Don Allen and Pete Grissel before Dakota Arms came into existence, circa 1980. It shoots fine. Previous owner had shot it very little and his son sold it after he passed. Been in my care since about 2012 +/-
I am..........disturbed.

Nah, I’m saving my pennies to have a nice retirement gift put together. Just not quite sure of the details yet.

Please don't think I am trying to do any thing but learn. I am ignorant,
So what does being 6 2 have to do with your deal?
Is it because you can't get a lower cheek " weld?"

You guys better keep an eye on this one and its provenance. This .275 Rigby will be worth a mint when I eventually croak off.... Biggest thing since Corbetts or Bells Rigby... Oh, and the value of RevMikes Ingwe Special will be incalculable....

Somebody needed a new screwdriver set. I noticed that too, plus the screws weren't all parallel . No sights, frond too long, no barrel band sling swivel, Conventional cheekpiece, rather than British Black butt pad, rather than English Red.. No Rev. Mike...this rifle is not for me. I'll keep my Swede...

I'm curious as to how the value was determined to be $15K. Did they just pick an outrageous number? You can have a real nice custom rifle built for a third of that. IMHO JOC provenance doesn't add $10K of value.
