Re: The Rigby Highland Stalker rifle

Nice images NitroX.
The rifle looks good in Marc's hands and look at all the people behind him waiting to order one!

Looking at the rifles on the table we can see the new stocks are thicker and deeper in the grip. They had to decide on a good compromise for this model. If it was bespoke they could slim the stock more.

Also the metal is different in the new actions. The top of the action tang seems higher. With the higher comb this makes the top line of the grip higher. And i think the metal line of the gaurd bow adjacent to the rear screw is a bit lower than the old rifle, making the wood line here deeper.

Something else i see in the new rifles on the table, a pet hate, the edges of the recoil pads have been left sharp. A rounded edge looks nicer i think and is more comfortable for some shooters. Perhaps it would cost Rigby too much on this model.
