While this rifle was built on the "Short" Intermediate action with slanted magazine, developed for Rigby, it was not an export rifle but was sold in Germany.'

I might also mention that other Mauser actions were made in .303 British, too. In the March/April 2015 edition of 'African Outfitter' there is an article on the .303 British and on page 16 there is a photo of a Rigby Mauser .303 at the top of the page but, at the bottom of the page there is a picture of a Fraser "Velox" takedown rifle, in .303 British, which appears to be based on a Mauser 93 or 95 action.
