Annoying Mehulkamdar again: I am certainly not amused! Aside from that awful, useless muzzle brake, this gun again shows that Signore Rigido is more an engineer than a good gunsmith IMHO. Everything looks quite "squarish" to me: The floorplate, why didn't he use the rounded Rigby style plate as offered by Mauser and others. The exaggerated double square bridge, higher and so more clumsy looking than the Mauser original ones, as these are engraved on top they are apparently not intended for scope mounting. The stock side panels at the action area are too flat for my tastes too. The rear sight island appears to me to be simply soldered on, as a integral or sleeve mounted one would by nature lead to more gentle curves here. That burly stock wood may look stunning, but it has no place on a dgr, subject to heavy recoil and perhaps use under harsh condition. Such a rifle may have all amounts of burl wood in the buttstock, but the grain must run reasonably straight through hand and foreend. I hope that master has at least hidden a reinforcing steel or fiberglass rod inside the most vulnerable hand area. Otherwise the burly wood with fibers running in all directions is very prone to breaking here. The Italian style engraving is nice, but unable to hide the design defects of the basic rifle underneath.





you like rifles a certain way he likes rifles a certain way its as simple as that if you dont like it but there is no need to basically call everything shit just because you dont like it
