Re: J. Rigby & Co with Mauser creates – The Big Game Rifle

And BTW I don't believe the stock shape between the two ie classic vs modern "Modern Big Game" model makes a fucking bit of difference is the speed of handling.

The stock shape was made to the fashion of the time and the thinner stock and much shorter fore-end may actually be a hinderance in some quick handling situations ...




You are correct if you are referring to the fact that overall weight, and placement of it, affects a rifle's balance more that the stock shape and size, and its design must allow for consistant and reliable control.
But you have obviously never compared one of the massive, "modern" A-Square heavy African rifles with something like the Rigby --- or else you are built like a gorilla.
The Rigby design may be minimalistic, but it is well balanced and on the 416 it is not dainty,
