Nitrox you are absolutely right !
I think that the debate takes a wrong direction and I'm confused at being the source of that deviance.
I don't care about the dispute between our Norwegian friends…
To clarify the things, being fond of the old Rigby's bolt rifles –purely a superb treatment of an Oberndorf made barreled action- that to my eyes represent the epitome of the "Safari rifle of a past gone era, I couldn't be satisfied by the modern Rigby look.
What I wrote about the Mauser-Blaser-Sauer group newly offered rifle is based on cold, close examination and is the result of my own deception.
This reflects my opinion and I never wanted to "rip that rifle to pieces" but to point only some aspects that could have been made right at first without great expense.
I'm certain that the "Vintage" model will correct what appear to my eyes as "deficiencies", and I'm convinced also that the critic comments are for something in the process…
However if my contribution to the forum is inappropriate, please, feel free to let me know, and I will amend.

Thank you.

Joel,

I was hoping you would not take my comments the wrong way. Sometimes an enthusiastic customer or another person (making a general comment here!) can cause comments which get people offside sometimes due to the wrong perception.

BTW I think I invited our Foutainbleau to post his Dorleac visit photos here. I forget exactly though ... ???

I think everyone enjoys your excellent work. And also enjoys your photos. I too like the cased Rigby .350 vintage rifle you posted on this thread or the other one(?).

Hopefully we get to enjoy more of your custom rifles on NE.
