If that is the standard model what does the deluxe one look like?

Now THAT is a beautiful rifle on a '98. My 9.3 X 62 also had the thumb groove action, although it was a comercial action & rifle.

That's truly beautiful. Do you know what the price is for this "standard" model? And if so, what's the price of a "deluxe" model?

Yeah, I know. If you need to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it anyway!

I wonder who makes their action. I doubt that they machine it from scratch themselves.

Muaser

Kist like Holland, Rigby, WR et al, they just used
Standard Mauser 98 actions and do quite a bit of
work to them to make them look good and work
100% for the cartridge.

The only difference between these and a custom gun
is the name on the gun and the proof marks.

This Rifle - this very picture - have been my favourite for a long time.
The stock-work is fantastic, and so is the metalwork. What I do not like,
is the fact that this is a show-picture, set up to lure the buyer or admirerer.
Look at that scope. It is placed with the turret in the middle of the rings,
to make the pick look good, when only a very handicapped person could shoot the
rifle with the scope mounted that far back.
Actually, even mooved as far foreward as possible in theese rings, I doubt a normal shaped
person could shoot this rifle safely.
Still, it is just BEAUTIFUL - just order it with another scopemount!

Someone asked for the Lux version, here it is:

This is the most beautiful bolt gun I have ever seen. Wow!

I'm not particularly up to speed on WR rifles and am curious about the
unusual looking and expensive (~$2500!?) front sight. Can someone tell
me something about it?

Thanks
