I don’t think anyone is making the case that there is no place for non-iron sighted rifles. Or that without them the rifle cannot be hunted with. What I and others did make a case for is that the people who specifically want a Rigby branded rifle, are looking for traditional form and details...

Most of the political establishment is tone deaf. They just run around in their own self aggrandising echo chambers. The question then is, is it incompetence (failure to see due to ego) ? Or is it with intent (ulterior motives)?

From what I can tell from the website, all iron-sighted Highland Stalkers have the option to have the muzzle end threaded. And due to the Rigby design of the front sight, a little set back behind the muzzle end, there is no interference when adding a suppressor. With a nice flush cap screwed on...

And as an add-on to this: Every option a product maker adds to their product range, can be a positive thing. It evolves the product so it becomes better over time. But it also comes with a negative side, where every additional option, means an additional complexity, less optimized stocks of...

Hello @SStomcat , I'm not sure I truly follow the previous and second post? I only posted once in this thread. Obviously, a specific setup of a rifle is a deeply personal choice. That is for everyone to decide for themselves. However in this case @RIGBY asked the open question if and which...

With modern barrels, why would monolithic bullets be a problem?

You should definitely visit Mark in his shop one day. I've been there twice, and will likely be there again just before Christmas.

I’ve listened to the Joe Rogan podcast with Rupert Lowe. He seemed to have his head screwed on right, although I mainly only know him from the UK rape gang report. What do you think his chances are over the next 10 years to right the ship?

Waidmannsheil once more @mark-hunter ! You had told already some parts of the story, but here with all the small details and pictures it truly came alive! What a hunt!

Waidmannsheil @spotnspook ! Nothing will ever compare to shooting your first elephant. Well done, I liked your writing style as well.

No chance for me in Belgium to do that. I can already be happy that there is a gun range that allows me to shoot .416Rigby I did run a BASA style rifle course with my .500NE thanks to @Frederik
