This trigger is a very long way back in the gaurd bow. Probably deliberate choice, to make more room for trigger finger, to avoid bumping into the floorplate latch. Other triggers arn't as far back.

The trigger finger loop would have to be in the middle of the gaurd bow, like a military trigger, to be close to the bolt knob but i think it would look a bit odd that far forward.

The bolt handle is just the normal straight Mauser bolt handle, no sweep back. The bolt handle/knob perhaps lies a bit closer to the stock, as per NitroX's comment.

Perhaps Rigby would sweep the bolt handle back if requested. Just needs to be heated up near the root and give it a good whack with the hammer !!!

Regards,
