Re: Whose Rigby Big Game is this? Scope Mounts?

the Recknagel mounts always look good and work well but in my opinion make things to high and throw the rifle out of balance to much when holding in the hand. The lower you can go the better in my opinion.

Hi Matt.
I’m looking at getting a 375 H&H. If I’m in Australia and it’s the one I’m carrying, it will be perfect for feral cats. And hopefully it will cause native African critters to form the view that they should ‘be aware of an Australian with one gun.’
As you suggest, keeping the scope low for reasons of balance will be an aim. But not too low. I think I want my eye and cheekbone to be high enough off the comb to avoid being whacked by recoil. The Mauser’s straight, 90 degree bolt will ensure the set up isn’t too low. The straight stock will help with recoil too. I’ve heard good things about how the Mauser Magnum controls recoil.
Regards, Rick.
