BEAUTIFUL! Joel's work gives me a reason to visit him in Perpignan to discuss a project.
I just need to decide whether he will build me 300 H&H or 350 Rigby rifle...

Fontainebleu,

That is a magnificent rifle! Of course, since it was built by our friend Joel, it would have to be a masterpiece! I understand that you chose an FZH action, also a superb choice. Hope to see more pictures of your hunting success with this magnificent beauty in the future!

Building that rifle was a very pleasant experience.
Indeed we started on a Rigby type light stalking rifle and…following the customer demands we ended with a H&H styled repeater…!
Even if it's a standard grade rifle we build it with the same level of attention to details than for our top of the line.
Sighted at 200 meters at our range that .275 Rigby delivered superb accuracy with the hard-hitting RWS TIG (UNI) 162 grains 7x57 load.
We hope that Axel will get same enjoyment in using it that we got in its making.

Very nice, particularly the stippling.
I have just custom ordered some of the last 4x36 steel Schmidt & Bender scopes. One of these would complement such a rifle so well.
