Rigby Highland Stalker

Highland Stalker owners, are your trigger guards flat on the underside, our do they have some contour to them? I was looking at some pictures to get an idea of the barrel profile and I noticed that they are flat looking. Just wondering if thats the case or not.
 
It’s great to hear from so many satisfied owners. Seriously considering emptying the safe a bit and adding the Rigby.

I will probably bide my time and wait for a good deal to come up in 275 or 30/06.

I don’t own one. I have handled several. But at $11-$12k I think they are a good buy. Considering what that amount of cash buys in a double rifle.
 
I would take a look at the MNR website. They have a nice selection of high quality reasonably priced rifles properly vetted. And a great guy to deal with.

I have been eyeing that one as well. I was also looking at the Rigby DSB PH in 416 that went sale pending last week. One reason I’m holding back is I get out of the military at the end of the year and wanted to get something then to mark the occasion.

That's a good deal also. Includes 10 boxes if ammo!

So why are you holding back?

The military retirement gift to reward yourself. Love it! The morning of my retirement party in 2004, we were living in Bolivia and one of my great friends and shooting buddies showed up at my house early in the morning with salteñas and a bottle of Champagne. He said I have heard you talking about it for years, let's order your "I love me and deserve it" firearm. We put together a beautiful, custom, 1874 Shiloh Sharps. That was my retirement gift to me. Mama said I was still going through my "Old West Cowboy" phase at the time. :LOL:

You want a Rigby? I suggest you call Marc Newton at Rigby and order you a special "I love me" retirement gift. You earned it and deserve it.

Safe shooting

Congrats on the pending retirement. Just be safe--when you get short is usually when the Shiite hits the fan! :)
 
@SFRanger7GP that is a nice retirement gift and some good advice. I saw Marc Newton and the crew at SCI last weekend, great booth.

Toying with the idea ordering one new was another factor that has me holding off. Getting one’s name in the Rigby ledgers would be special.
 
After a lot of thinking, planning and some sound advice I have my new Rigby Highland Stalker in 275. Let the adventures begin.

Is the Rigby Highland Stalker worth the money?
To me it is. Rigby to me signifies Africa…just me. Mine in 275 Rigby takes manufactured ammo in 140 grain and three shots touch each other at 100 yards with a wonderful trigger. I am a classical nostalgic hunter though and 250 years speaks to me
 
To me, no. No check piece and they will not make you one with one either. And I did ask them at DSC.
 
Yep....if you have the money. Keep in mind the rifle is built on a blueprinted Mauser action and match grade barrel. Everything else is handcrafted upgrades.....all stunning, but what do you really want? function, or function with beauty and elegance?

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx
