New Dorleac Left-handed 275 Rigby
      #227038 - 15/03/13 10:34 PM

Stock done, rust blueing, engraving and regulation to come...



Dear Alex,

The stock of your southpaw .275 Rigby rifle is now finished and the rifle has been assembled in the white for sight regulating.
As you will notice, we have modified the front sight and barrel swivel bases to a lightened fitting look.
Dear Axel,

The stock of your southpaw .275 Rigby rifle is now finished and the rifle has been assembled in the white for sight regulating.
As you will notice, we have modified the front sight and barrel swivel bases to a lightened fitting look.
In the same manner, on such a light recoil caliber, I have chosen to fit a slim leather covered butt pad instead of the planned thick red Silver's.
Indeed with your choices of a steel caped pistol grip and H&H style side scope mount, the rifle, while "Old English" fashioned, is not of true Rigby pattern, being more a D&D interpretation of that kind of light stalking rifle.
The rear stock benefit of a slight 6mm cast on and the trigger has been bent and contoured for left hand grip.
The French walnut don't show dramatic figure as usually does a Turkish blank, but to my eyes it's better appropriated to the rifle and with a very good and dense grain flow, it will withstand more abuse.
Next step will be the hand engraving of the markings, some touches of ornamental engraving on the fittings before slow rust bluing …but it's another story !

Best regards.

Magnificent, Fontainebleu! It is a pleasure to be the first member to congratulate you on these boards! A most beautiful rifle and your taste in design and the execution at my friend Joel's atelier are both exquisite.

Do keep the pictures coming, and great hunting!

Superb. Very true to form.


Can I confirm it is in 7x57/275 Rigby not 275H&H
as in the title ?

Mr. Fontainebleau,

My cousin Tony Hernandez ( https://www.facebook.com/tonyHERNANDEZart ) once married Liz Lapidus who is the granddaughter of Morris Lapidus, the great designer of Fontaineblue Miami ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Lapidus ).

Small world.

It's a beauty! I certainly am looking forward to seeing it again after the engraving and blue.
