First I think Rigby should stick to their propriety cartridges so a 350 Rigby or 416 Rigby would have been more suitable. I don't like the scope mount or the optics.

Classic rifles should have scopes with nicely blued steel tubes and not electronic with buttons cluttering things up.

Engraving on the floorplate, grip cap and recoil bolts would have been enough.

Leathercovered recoil pad would have been nice too - preferably pigskin
