Here's two photos of my last two remaining rifles built on 96 actions, both having Westley-Richards pattern bagged grips and Rigby pattern short fore-ends. They are noticeably more svelte and quicker to the draw than my similar rifles built on 98 actions, although barely noticeably slower than a couple of my Lee Speeds.

The first is in .256 Gibbs Magnum Rimless, with an EAW side-mount & Swarovski Habicht Nova A 3-9x36 (#4A reticule) its spare scope is a Kahles Helia 2.2-9x42 (#4 reticule) mounted in a spare EAW slide-top ready to go; the second is in .400/360 2 1/4" Rimless N.E. also with an EAW side-mount and Kahles Helia S2S 2.5x20 (#1 reticule); its spare scope is a Kahles Helia 15S2 1.5-4.5x20 (#16 reticule) mounted in a spare EAW slide-top ready to go, with back-up fixed single leaf rear and flip-up night bead front sights by Recknagel. Both are wearing their Made in Winnipeg by Levy's canvas straps.

I apologize for the poor quality of the photos. At the time, my old tripod was buggered & my new Manfrotto had not yet been delivered, so it was hand-steadying for me.

They pale in comparison to the beautiful creations of Dorleac. The photos of their 275 Rigby got me drooling & scheming, thinking about what I can let go to finance one of those. Magnificent!
