I'm super happy with it!Mate, that has come up very nice. Great rifle in a great cartridge![]()
Comment is based on looks?Mounted way too high
Have you fired one of these rifles with a scope mounted using recknagel rings?Way too high unless you have a 7 inch cheek
Beautiful rifle! Glad it shoots as good as it looks! Now go make a story with her
Unbelievable how accurate these Rigby rifles are, especially considering they are big calibres and realistically they are a very simple and basic build. At the end of the day they are just a big relatively clunky, barrelled magnum Mauser action sitting in a wood stock but man do they shoot. And to touch on the scope mounting again, maybe high for some but I'm the same as you, it works just fine for me and not uncomfortable at all.Aussie, happy to see that thing punching single holes…as it should even with your way-too-high scope. Of course, mine sits exactly the same and think it fits proper. While I admittedly have a bigger head than some, ok, most, I hate a rifle that has improper scope height for solid cheek weld, especially on a heavy recoiling cartridge. The Rigby BGRs with a swaro in the recknagel rings fit me perfectly.
While my 416 shoots similar, sure wish the wood as nice. That rifle is simply a gorgeous killer.
My less appealing wood, same scope height and 100yd grouping which is average for it if I do my part. View attachment 696985View attachment 696986View attachment 696988
