Hi Daryl,

Post a photo of your stock.

Rigby wanted to emulate the old design, but I guess with modern use in mind as well, ie scopes. A lot of modern consumers hate the look of those "hogback" Euro stocks.

Hot older cartridges?

Wasn't there a .240 H&H Mag? I don't know its intorduction date.

Surely their is something in the 7 mm class as well?

Regarding barrel length, was some Westley Richards rifles 28 even 30 inch rifle barrels? Surely there forend stocks were longer? As unwieldy as those rifles mist be in the bush.
