275 Rigby
#118984 - 17/11/08 04:42 AM

I have a friend that wants to build a .275 Rigby (7x57)

He wants to use a pre 64 Winchester action. I have told him I will kick his dog and never borrow his boat again if he puts .275 Rigby on a Winchester and an American traditional stock. (he also wants a barrel band swivel)

Am I being judgemental?

Tell him to get some class about himor we'll lump him in with all the other drongo's who think a Plastic Fantastic Stevens in .223 is a good gun

I think you need to slap him around a bit and
make him wake up.

Winchester did in fact offer the pre 64 Model 70 in 7x57 in those days.
Maybe he should just look for one of those.
Anyway, he could use a 1909 Mauser action which would likely be cheaper as well.

I agree with all but one so far. A 275 Rigby or 275 H.V. as we marked ours where all on small ring 98's. The Kar is nice, I like them better than a Mexican 98. While the M-70 is a wonderful action it always seemed so big for anything much smaller than a H&H.

HA! I've been wanting to build a 7x57R on a Lee action. So of course, now I'll have to call it a .275 Rigby Rimmed! Imagine, if you will: a streamlined No.4 MkI with .275 Rigby Rimmed engraved on the barrel, firing ammunition marked .444 Marlin. Heh, heh, heh. How many laws does that break?
