No idea, haven't looked into it yet. I am torn between saving for a double in 500 NE or getting a .505 bolt rifle sooner. Though, I think if I get a bolt, it will not slake my thirst for a DR!Neither did I, which countries
Couldn’t resist any longer. This one is no longer available. Had an 1895 Win in 30-06 that killed a 400” bull near the four corners (by a prior owner) that unfortunately is one that got away. An 1886 and 1871 have always been on the must have list. So I’m excited.
Only that it’s been sold!Wow…what’s not to like about this one?
Agree… almost certainly an Arisaka…I believe it’s a sporterized Arisaka? I don’t know if it’s a model 38 or 99? The Chrysanthemum engraving on top of the receiver is missing but a lot were sanded off after the war. There’s a 99 at my local Bass Pro with a clear Chrysanthemum but they also list it as unknown make, model and cartridge. I told them what it was but the guy looked at me like I had two heads. I guess cause it wasn’t a black gun.
I just checked AH sponsor @RAVEN ROCKS PRECISION website. They have Norma 6.5 Japanese brass and Norma 7.7 Japanese factory hunting ammo available. I was surprised.Agree… almost certainly an Arisaka…
They list unknown caliber… if it’s a 6.5mm ammo is a challenge to find, but it’s out there, and reloading is pretty straightforward …
If it’s a 7.7, ammo can be incredibly hard to find, as can be components…
If it were in its original configuration it would probably be worth the asking price… I’m not sure it’s worth $75 in its current configuration.. and only then if someone wanted a inexpensive toy that’s pretty difficult and expensive to feed..
Beautiful wood. Buy it!Ruger in 458 Lott needs a home. I cannot convince myself to buy it.

Not for me, but someone will love it. Are you a collector (new) or a collector/hunter? As far as a scoped rifle for hunting, the drop on the stock is excessive. I don’t know anything about the engraver, but honestly, I think I have seen better lions at least from programmed engraving/etching. In short, even if he is flexible on price, I would think there are better options for someone just getting into collecting. Rifles that Roger sells, with articles, etc., do have a premium with some buyers. I think this one will linger. Then again, somebody may buy it tomorrow.Being a newbie to collecting African Dangerous Game Rifles I am interested in what the veterans on this thread think of this listing on GI. Thanks

Thanks for the info. I am a hunter/new collector and this just seemed interesting.Not for me, but someone will love it. Are you a collector (new) or a collector/hunter?

It may be for you. If I like something, I generally don’t think to much about the opinions of others. Well, unless the entire village points out I am a moron. The village has been correct beforeThanks for the info. I am a hunter/new collector and this just seemed interesting.
Definitely won't be heart broken if it sells, which is a good test. Thanks againIt may be for you. If I like something, I generally don’t think to much about the opinions of others. Well, unless the entire village points out I am a moron. The village has been correct before
For someone just getting into collecting, you could buy 3 spectacular .375s in the ballpark for what it would cost to purchase the rifle you inquired about. That being said, if you find yourself going back to the listing and you really like it, buy the thing. Again, it may sell quickly, as it only takes one person to really like it, but if you like it, and will not be heartbroken if somebody else buys it, you may want to wait a while and let the market speak (with silence) before making an offer.
To me it is the opportunity cost of $17,000 that I could buy a much more well known rifle maker.Not for me, but someone will love it. Are you a collector (new) or a collector/hunter?

Thanks for the Plug. 13.5 LOP. Yes, I am motivated to sell, however not wanting to give it away. I figured someone heading to Africa would want to bring this old girl along for another run at it.Here is a nice Dakota 76, 375 H&H with Zeiss 1.5-6x42 scope for only $4499. No LOP mentioned. Seller has lowered the price a couple of times, I believe he is motivated. This is a really nice high quality rifle and an excellent price for a Dakota 375 H&H with Zeiss scope.
