Going by the position of the recoil lug reinforcement, that John Rigby 9 of 25 Mauser 98 in .350 Rigby Mag is built on a modern Magnum length action, just like their Big Game rifles. Not a "Highland Stalker" standard length action. According to Jon Speed, it is quite easy to identify standard or magnum length actions, if there is a recoil crossbolt in the stock: As action screw distance is the same on intermediate, standard and magnum length actions, the recoil lug is more to the rear on magnum length actions. So on standard length actions a recoil crossbolt is about centered under the receiver ring, while on magnum length actions it is closer to the rear end, like on this .350 Magnum rifle.
Good observation. Thanks for the information.
So does the mength of the .350 Rigby Magnum justify a magnum length action? Even if capable of using a standard length action? If so, I could imagine most London Best custom users choosing the magnum length action as a definite choice.
