The rifle looks very good but seems that the small leather case in the last picture wouldn´t be on the same level of craftmanship as the rifle is.

Wow - the whole Enchilada!!!!!
I want, I want!
Better sell first kidney to pay for a deposit on that one.
John, is it a new rifle made to 'old' world specs?
But if its an original oldie then it will be certainly one to get out & use.

Judging by the action (No clip slot that I can see.), she's a new one. What does she weigh? I read the new ones in that configuration are a good bit north of 10lbs. That one doesn't look quite that portly. Post California pre-Blaser?

Well, in my humble opinion, thats the right pat to follow, back to basics, now if they would do the same Vintage line but re creating the 350 or 375 H&H ( like the one Mr. Dorelac posted a time ago ) and a .275 ... that would complete the most treasurable collection of sporting rifles and the only ones I would buy ... if I had that kind of money.

Yup; that's what a proper rifle looks like. Beautiful, clean, functional, British.

The first rifle is certainly vintage. It has the thumb slot for charging from a charger clip, old style Mauser safety and the stock looks like it is set for use with open sights.
Any of the above rifles I would have if I could afford them, especially the lower two.
