Yes a very nice rifle but as always my eyes are drawn to the large ugly scopes that owners seem to insist on having fitted. They want period type rifles and fixtures such as the open sights including a bolt mounted aperture but then adorn the rifle with a modern large tube, large objective illuminated scope. If I were Rigby I would refuse to accommodate such people. Yes build the rifle but refuse to mount such an abomination of a scope.
Surely it is a 'quick detachable' mount, actually appears to be a 'Vienna Snapper'.
I agree that an early 20th Century 'scope would be more aesthetically appealing, but perhaps this purchaser intends to use it and prefers modern optics.
Regardless, with 'scope detached it retains 'classic' form.
