Interesting thread. I was interested in the stalker and spent time handling them at SCI. I agree 100% with Waidmannsheil! My main issue was the barrel contour. Marc said it was fixed across all the calibers. As a result, I found the .275 (which was the caliber I wanted to buy) just too heavy, did not balance lightly between the hands. I do think the 9.3x62 could be great as it will weigh a bit less given more metal being taken out of the bore and I'd like more weight for that caliber. My personal opinion is that this rifle is for someone who wants to own a Rigby, lots of emphasis on the look, the options (cosmetic options vs barrel contour as an example), and the wood grades, but does feel like a one size fits all rifle. Curious to see if they decide to modify the contours by caliber a bit, would be surprised if that is a huge impact on cost or manufacturing. |
