That's a fantastic piece of functional art.

Stylistically, I could do without the portrait on the rear bridge, and I certainly would not want to substitute my own mug! Just a matter of taste.

Like Marrakai, I would want the rear sight pushed a few inches forward. I'm on the wrinkly side of 50 too.

To take it one step further: I think if I were the customer, the rear express sight would disappear, and the rifle would be equipped with a cocking piece aperture. That would be a perfect piece of Rigby equipment.

Does anybody know who commissioned the rifle and what the cost was???
