    Rigby would like to know your caliber preference(s) for a Highland Stalker model without iron sights

    I thought the 7mm, 300WM and 338WM chamberings were already released without iron sights?

    I done did it now - Bought a Rigby.

    The Highland Stalker is the best rifle Rigby makes in my opinion, you won't be disappointed.

    .375H&H 350gr Woodleigh RNSN - Load data?

    I load the 350 grain RNSN with 72 grains of 2209, gives me 2330fps from my Rigby's 24" barrel

    Rigby Highland Stalker - preferred scope

    Thats why I went with the z8i 1-8, the long tube length on the Swarovski's is the best choice in my opinion. Originally had a leupold 1.5-5 on my first HS, it was ok but the Swarovski is much better.

    Loads for 450-400 3" NE

    Whats the diameter of the bores on the Chapui's, 0.410" or 0.411"? I'm using 400 grain RNSN Woodleighs 0.411" with 87.5 grains of 2217, gives me 2090fps out of 24" barrels.

    Arriving at a point in life

    I've had rifles from many different makers in 9.3x62, 375H&H, 375 Ruger, 404 Jeffery, 450/400 Nitro, 458 Lott, 450 Rigby, 470 Nitro, 500 Jeffery. Unfortunately Sold the 500 Jeffery due to new gun laws in Australia (straight pulls), makes it too hard to travel with it now. Kept and sold others...

    Rigby 450 PH

    These can be very tight, I always put a very light coating of grease on mine before turning them in

    Ordered my LAST African Safari rifle at DSC this year...

    I love Rigby, the rifles they build and what the company represents but god this is hard to read. I really hope they can find a way to expedite the replacement build that Marc has agreed to. I recently had significant issues with a Rigby rifle I purchased, Marc and the team at Rigby were great...

    CCH or engraving on a bespoke?

    CCH for me too, I went with CCH on my new Highland Stalker

    Norma Oryx .30-06 Sprg 200Grn Performance

    Yeah too far from me unfortunately

    Norma Oryx .30-06 Sprg 200Grn Performance

    I've used the 200 grain Norma Oryx in my 30-06 for shooting pigs. Really good performance, I'd still be using them but I haven't been able to get any so now I am using 200 grain Lapua Mega.

    Rigby 450 PH

    Beuatiful PH model, fantastic rifle. In mine I was using 550 grain Woodleigh RNSN, with 103 grains of 2209, giving me an average of 2240fps. Hits buffalo like a freight train.
  13. Aussie_Hunter

    6.5mm: Lapua 155gr Mega bullet vs the Hornady 160gr round nose bullet.

    Not a 6.5x55 but I am using Woodleigh 160 grain PP & 160 grain RNSN in my 6.5 PRC. Very happy with the accuracy, velocity and penetration I am getting with these bullets at around 2750fps.

    Is Heym a Sponsor on here?

    This is really cool, I can't wait to see it.

    Is Heym a Sponsor on here?

    Through the Australia distributor I have always been given the option of picking the actual piece of wood for any rifle I have ordered, both Big Game & Highland Stalker. Rigby will do custom LOP but at a cost. Rigby will colour case harden anything you want, you can choose only specific parts or...
