Re: Rigby quality

500NITRO, I agree Westleys and Holland built some exquisite magazine rifles. Unlike with their DR's, I did not know that Rigby built a lesser quality line of rifles in magazine form. Some commercial Mauser sporters were marked Rigby as they were the Mauser importer for a while, but, Rigby made bolt rifles that I have seen have been very uniformly similar rifles without the variations in wood quality and engraving extras that are more often seen in Hollands and Wesley-Richards. The Rigbys look rather plain in comparison. Paul Roberts era Rigbys on the other hand had a tremendous range in terms of "Best Grade" style to plain guns.
