Another .275/7x57
      #298707 - 08/04/17 10:16 AM

Saw this on the UK site today.The old girl sounds ok too.

Rifle
Cal .275 Rigby
Mauser GEW 98 Action Spandau Germany
Lowther Walther Barrel @ 21 inch Medium Stalking Profile
London Proof House Stamped
Fully Bedded on Acroglass
Timney Trigger ( adjustable ) with side safety for trigger not the bolt
Falling Floor plate, Release in Trigger Guard
Leupold One Piece Mounts with wind adjustment
Exhibition Grade Woodwork
English Style Decelerator Recoil Pad
Chequering = 32 Lines per inch
Ebony Forend and Pistol Grip Cap
LOP = 13.5 inch Made for me with stalking gear on
Regulated for 140grn - 165 grn bullets, I think this relates to the barrel twist rate, in that it will accurately accommodate bullet weights in this range
Quick Detachable Sling Swivels

Scope
Zeiss Diavari 3-9 x 42 No. 4 reticule with box
Zeiss scope cover
Butler Creek Scope Covers

Accessories
Leather and Canvas Rifle Slip ( New ) like a Brady
Leather Sling
Dewy Cleaning Rod

This is a traditional stalking rifle made some 35yrs ago to my specifications, It`s not a long range Gong rifle, it was never intended to be, specifically made as my woodland rifle though I did use it with some success on the hill for a number of years with Bogtrotter off this site, Great Times!

Accuracy, with 140grn sierra Game Kings it will shoot into less than half inch at 100yds and out to 200yds just a little more three quarters of an inch, and I`m not the best shot in the world

Get off the chair away from the desk and get out in the bush and enjoy life.

Nothing wrong with that rifle shooting wise - the end cap looks a bit odd, but that's just my view only!
The rest of the stock looks OK & would certainly make a good hunter

Shot my (managed) Imperial Red stag in NZ with that combo. 7x57 Lothar Walther barrel and 140 Sierra SptBt's. Fantastic terminal performance and the perfect combo for deer.

Aesthetically it does look a tad too long to me also.There is still room in my safe though!
