Brevex #17 joins the collection - Champlin Arms 416 Rigby

I've been fortunate to add another Brevex. And, in my favorite caliber. This is my first Champlin Arms rifle. I've emailed George Caswell asking for History about its build. It was just purchased at auction yesterday. When I get the rifle in hand I'll post details and additional pictures. BTW, if you have a Brevex you care to sell, please PM me. I'd like to get to 20.

Well, I finally received the rifle in hand. Here are some additional details. I am very impressed with the overall quality of the work. LOP is 13-5/8" and it tips the scale at 11 pounds 12 ounces with the scope. That may seem a little heavy' but at that weight it really absorbs the recoil. I'm still waiting to hear from George Caswell of Champlin Arms to find the History of this rifle's build. I assume the was built in the 70s, a time when Maurice Ottmar worked for George as his stock maker. The overall quality, and checkering pattern, attests to Ottmar's style, such as the checkered saddle behind the tang.

as always, your comments are welcome,
