You've got to hand it to the new Rigby. Under the leadership of Marc Newton, they really show a lot of style. In the past their stands have reflected an "African camp" theme, rourkhee folding chairs, a period styled African camp tent, and other accoutrements (splg?). Now with the new High Stalker they have gone the extra mile, and their stand reflects a Scottish drawing room, leather chairs, wood panelled walls, tartan carpets and even Rigby motif wall paper.

Well done to Rigby for going the extra mile, up the glen. One reason they have been so successful in a very short time.

Personally I could quite easily carry and use in the field one of their new Highland Stalker rifles. A .275 in a Rigby? What better. Yes an original pre WW1 vintage riflewould be nice, but would probably carry a vintage "twice the price" tag too.

The new rifle IS setup for scope use now as well. The vintage rifles with the drooping butt were setup for open sight use. They do look nice, but I would also use a .275 pretty much 100% with a scope. Except maybe for open sighted target competitions.
