Re: Photos of British Mauser stock styles

That is one nice Rigby ! The very short forearm (without ebony tip) and round knob grip gives the light Rigby magazine rifle a distinct look. The grip curve is nice and open for quick handling. Also notice how the checkering pattern complements the rounded grip shape. Rigby sure didn't leave any extra wood on there forearms! However the short forearm does place your hand at the proper balancing point for offhand shooting. I also like how the trigger guard is perfectly shaped and adds to the overall rounded look of the stock.

I would really like to see its big brother the 416 as well. That way we could compare how Rigby handled the stock design for there big bore rifles.
