Matter of fact the rifle,a 375H&H, was for me, heavier than needed but boy didn't it balance, come to the shoulder and swing well. If I had the money I would have a brace of 4, 275Rigby, 375 H&H, 416 and 450 Rigby.




Mate, you missed out the .350 Rigby.

That battery would all cost you a pretty penny in total!




Damn I did to and yes I would need a major win in a big lotto payday.

No I have not handled that rifle but have a mates Rigby. And like most Mauser I find the bolt knob to be to far forward for my liking. Does not mean can't operate them, just means not to my liking. I find the SMLE bolt knob to be in the best position. As the finger leaves the trigger it is traveling upwards and backwards. Remember the bolt will be be moving in the same direction. Same in reverse when closing the bolt. A gentle curve to the rear like the CZ550 would help.

Most other bolt knobs are above or very slightly forward of the trigger. Reason for the big dog leg in the P14/M17 bolt. Just my preferences is all and certainly would not stop me buying one.
