Waidmannsheil,

I have only handled the Highland Stalker in 30-06 not the Mauser. I do agree with about the Rigby especially the weight. As one bloke said to me, they are trade guns. IE produced without full attention to detail, barrel profile, roughness of the bolt etc. For the price I agree but despite these detraction's it is a very nice rifle. The big thing I do like is the length of pull. It is somewhere north of 14" which is what I need and want. Even CZ550's do not give you a decent length of pull. They do come to the should nicely. The timber is top class and this I think is reflected in the price.

If I had the money to have one I would order it to be same weight, barrel profile, plain grain in the stock, etc of the 1920/30's models.
