My God, if a "fixed lock" costs that much, how much would a drop lock cost? I have owned two WR drop locks in my day, one a .256 (6.5X53R) S/S and the other an Ovundo 400/350 Rigby. I particularly regret letting the Ovundo get away. Recently the other half of the pair it belonged to came up for sale on a German web site (rebored and rechambered to 9.3X74R). It is in every other way identical to the one I parted with (minus the scope).
