My 350 Rigby was not a pleasant rifle to shoot which probably explains why most of these large calibres have generally survived in good condition.
Especially the ones that had stayed in England and had not been taken out into the bush.
From memory the one I had was made in 1912 and was in good condition except after I had fired about a hundred rounds through it over the years I noticed a crack had started in the wood between the magazine well and the trigger.
I sold it to Rigby's in London around twenty or so years ago who were keen to buy it and from what I was told It would appear that this is quite common in these hard recoiling rifles.
