Saw this on the UK site today.The old girl sounds ok too. Rifle Cal .275 Rigby Mauser GEW 98 Action Spandau Germany Lowther Walther Barrel @ 21 inch Medium Stalking Profile London Proof House Stamped Fully Bedded on Acroglass Timney Trigger ( adjustable ) with side safety for trigger not the bolt Falling Floor plate, Release in Trigger Guard Leupold One Piece Mounts with wind adjustment Exhibition Grade Woodwork English Style Decelerator Recoil Pad Chequering = 32 Lines per inch Ebony Forend and Pistol Grip Cap LOP = 13.5 inch Made for me with stalking gear on Regulated for 140grn - 165 grn bullets, I think this relates to the barrel twist rate, in that it will accurately accommodate bullet weights in this range Quick Detachable Sling Swivels Scope Zeiss Diavari 3-9 x 42 No. 4 reticule with box Zeiss scope cover Butler Creek Scope Covers Accessories Leather and Canvas Rifle Slip ( New ) like a Brady Leather Sling Dewy Cleaning Rod This is a traditional stalking rifle made some 35yrs ago to my specifications, It`s not a long range Gong rifle, it was never intended to be, specifically made as my woodland rifle though I did use it with some success on the hill for a number of years with Bogtrotter off this site, Great Times! Accuracy, with 140grn sierra Game Kings it will shoot into less than half inch at 100yds and out to 200yds just a little more three quarters of an inch, and I`m not the best shot in the world |

Nothing wrong with that rifle shooting wise - the end cap looks a bit odd, but that's just my view only! The rest of the stock looks OK & would certainly make a good hunter |

Shot my (managed) Imperial Red stag in NZ with that combo. 7x57 Lothar Walther barrel and 140 Sierra SptBt's. Fantastic terminal performance and the perfect combo for deer. |
