I hope you can forgive me when I open a can of worms here.

I don´t like the short foreend at all.

Aesthetically it looks like a rectal syringe and functionally it´s design came from the shotgun.

Rifle shooting demands a more stable position than the snap shooting capability of a shotgun.

Even Rigby´s corrected that on later produced rifles.

Nevertheless the rifle in concern is a beautyful specimen for the art of riflemaking
in those days.

Interesting point of view. Anyone else feel the Rigby-design is inherently flawed?
