No more than the modern magnum Mauser built on a Prechtl Golmatic action they sell from ten years.
Same action, modern sights, laser engraving...and alas same stock and checkering !
It seems they have never seen or held a true Rigby from the glory days.
I agree.
They say the measurements were taken from an original pre-war 416 but it doesn't look right to my eye.
I see mention of a "stock shape with higher comb for better fit and absorption of recoil". Not sure I follow that.
The 22" barrel looks stubby and the fit of the barrel band sling mount on the open sight gun is terrible.
Give me a Dorleac over this any day!
