Looked over the ones at IWA myself. Not impressed. Especially with an original .416 right beside it. I hate to say this as it is not as accurately descriptive as Dorleac's assessment but, the new ones just don't FEEL like the originals. This is besides the differences and liberties taken as pointed out above, handling the original .416 made me WANT to take it out and shoot it. The new ones just felt clubby and unbalanced. I really hate to say that as I'm glad to have the Rigby name back in decent hands but they really need to put a bit of hand work into these to get them right.
I did overhear while at the booth that some guy picked up the top end display rifle and dropped it while handling it....another of the hazards of the gun business..!
