Wow. Beautiful. I prefer those shorter fore-ends than the modern clubby long fore-ends. Especially on classic rifles or re-creations of them.

The sort of stock I would be looking for on a .318 if I ever make it up.

Totally agree. One day I'll have one made up for my 7x57.

That is a lovely .350 rifle, and what Blixen means for Scandinavia is much, not just the hunting they did, but also the fact that Karen stayed much in Norway and wrote about "Babettes feast" to a little puristanic village here, but took it over to Denmark in the book.

The .350 is good round, havent used it but the .358 Norma whis is in some loads similar almost to i.

And the balance and feel of Rigby rifles is hard to beat , they are just wonderful, almost a bought a restored .275 with Zeiss 25-10x Victory scope, oak and leather case and the HH typemount for 3500 Pounds some years ago, but didnt, why i dont know .

Sorry, I hadn't noticed your question until just now. The cocking piece sight was made by Rusty Zimmerman.(rusty42marlin@yahoo.com)I'm not sure where the folding leaf sights and the front ramp came from. Good question.
