Morten,

I am the "certain French gun maker" you don't dare call by his name.
Obviously you haven't read or understood correctly my comments.
I have no doubt about the quality or reliability of the gun you praise. I am just disappointed to see that, when you have the production capacity of the Mauser-Blaser-Sauer group, and the availability of the original models, you are not able to design a modern version of the mythic rifle and keep some of the spirit that made its success.
The fans of Rigby were expecting better than a plain update of the Mauser Magnum already made. In spite of your comments, it seems they have been heard, as a more classical version is already in the making.
On another side, this forum is user friendly and constructive critics are welcome as they allow to correct erroneous choices.
Simple craftsman, I do not pretend to compete with the great English houses, but I have always considered that one should pay attention to the remarks of amateurs and use our mistakes as steps to make progress.
As for writing that I acted "unprofessionally", my guess is that you write faster than you think.

Best.
