Well done and welcome to the NE forums Wotan. Cool alias as well. Your own "Gungnir".

I really like the thought of a 7x57 / .275 Rigby rifle. Probably loaded it is a wonderfully effective medium rifle choice from over a hundred years ago, so much better than the much promoted cartridges "invented" in the last few years.

I do want one one day, a 7x57, a 6.5x54 MS, a .30-06 (corrected), .318 WR, .375 H&H in my armoury. Got a couple of them.

And also wonderful to be able to hunt with a rifle you "made" yourself.
