I was at my friend Jason‘s (@GENTZ SPORTING ARMS) shop today looking at his .416 Rigby’s (@RIGBY). Wow! it is almost impossible to decide which one is the best one!?

I need to get out more often.

Works of craftsmanship and art.

Far right or middle for me... what kinda scratch are we talking?

franzfmdavis · Jan 8, 2025

Between 25 and 30k

Second from the left or far right for me.

I really like the one on the far right in the first photo. The graining is quite impressive on the stock.

Since indecisive, you should probably get them all.

DrBob · Jan 8, 2025

Simple... ALL OF THEM.... Monday through Friday covered with resting on the weekend. RR314 has the right idea!

I dont even have 1/100 of the money saved for any of them

By the $25K one... hunt a few times and it will scratched up and ripe with history and emotional attachment... spend the extra $5K on a flights and ammo for your Buffalo hunt.

What grade is the wood on those? I assume they are higher than standard grade 5 from the pricing.

Arm dealers in Sweden can't show rifles like that!
They (almost) just got Tikka, Sako and Blaser when they want to show new guns..
You are lucky to have a dealer like that.

(Maybe a litte veer)

Went to Purdey a year ago for a fitting and to order a shotgun. In the wood selection, he said the desired cuts of the Turkish walnut are right where the roots meet the lowest part of the trunk. That junction is where you’ll get the nicest looking patterns and colors for the aft/widest part of the stock. For strength as you move forward and especially in the area of the receiver, the grain should be straight and parallel to the bore, which is from the trunk part of the wood cut.

Hope I understood him correctly; at least that’s the wood pattern type I picked. FWIW.

Second from the right for me. But honestly if I was having one built I’d go with something a little straighter.

I would say from top to bottom, the first three. Wow, actually all of them are quite beautiful and unique. If I ever win the Powerball, I'll ask for an appointment.
