This awesome rifle was built by the prominent Scottish gun making family, the Ogilvies in approx 1865-1870-ish for a prominent family member who held a few titles thru out his life mostly in Canada/Yukon territories, William Ogilvie. He was a surveyor and was all over the AK and Yukon territories back in the later 1800s and hunted while on these surveying missions.

I'm from the great state of NSW Australia and in their wisdom the government of said state wants to limit the average licenced shooter to a limit of four calibres.

Hi Everyone,

I've been on the forum looking at trophy room pics for years...and I'm finally getting started on my own. I have more questions than I imagined, so I thought I would ask the collective wisdom of the group.
