I would be perfectly happy with a "largely machine made" Vintage Model, and I am not insulted by the idea of a pantographed stock (as if anyone can tell the difference). The difference in price is completely obsurd. Perhaps they could keep the London Best reserved for the Jet Setters, but make the vintage model working rifle within reach of working class, such as myself. As it stands, a Vintage model clone, based on a single square bridge FZH action, looks to be in my future. It will be of at least equal quality, and almost indistinguishable from a Pre-war lightweight Rigby, aside from the Rigby Barrel address, and Oberndorf Mauser provenance. I am pleased that Rigby has returned to England, and I certainly wish Rigby all the best, but I can not justify paying what they ask. For what they are asking, a pre-war rifle could be acquired.
Matt
