I wish they would state a price. I might simply say yes.

With only 12 being made they will be a 'hot' item & rather Exy!
Bloody nice piece of kit though!

Might not be very clever, announcing that only 12 will be made!

I am reminded of Holland & Holland announcing with fan-fare "the last .600 Nitro double ever to be made", and then having to turn down all following requests for same!

I would have thought a Rigby Highland Stalker take-down should be a catalogue item for the next few decades at least!

Yeah completely agree with you Tony. It's a strange thing to do considering how popular the take-down rifle would be. Maybe they are leaving themselves some wriggle room by the fact that this minuscule batch is only in 30-06. It could be used to test the waters. Certainly hope so.

I wouldn't worry about 12 only being made as the London Best custom house will make to order anyway. Then you will have One of One.

I would want one in .275 Rigby anyway.

Lovely looking rifle.

Could become a good investment plus its useable too.

I'm not sure I like the caliber, the short 22-inch barrel, the safety shroud or the plasma-nitride finish ... but what I'm sure is that an EAW mount doesn't have its place on a classic rifle presented as an exceptional piece and offered at the price of a circus elephant!
Of course this is only my responsibility and I'm sorry to show bad spirits here!

+1 Well stated.
Certainly not marketed towards the "Classic Rigby" enthusiast.

Good eye Joel. I would not have known, but since I am not in THAT market, I did not look at the piece as a Must-Have item. I didn't even realize it had a 22" bl. & didn't even look at the scope bases.

Ha ha. I only looked at one small pic not any detail. I do like the concept of takedowns.

Spot on. I have to agree and could not have written it better myself.
