Thank God they did not chamber it for the 6.5 mm Creedmoor!

I truly shuddered at that thought.

Looking at the picks of the new Rigby some other lines might help explain why some might not like the look. The knox form is longer-understandable- and the tapper from the knox form is far more gentle then on other Highland Stalkers.

On reflection my dislike for it is due to the fact it is a Rigby without the Rigby classic lines, except for the short fore end. I believe the cartridge choice is OK and probably the best in a commercial sense.....maybe. I would think those who are going to fork out over $10,000AUD would probably be more inclined to pay for a more classic cartridge.

What ever my likes/dislikes I hope this is a success for Rigby.

OK I can see why the comments about some people still liking the old stock design. If it is not too low for scope use, looks nice and balances a long slim barrel with a shortish forend.

"BTW the Corbett rifle barrel looks a lot longer than the other 1900's original at the top."

The Corbett rifle barrel is 25". Mine is the same.

That is what the new Rigby "magnum" rifle should look like. With that sort of barrel profile. IMO.
