That is one rifle I could own, but I would need a much fatter wallet.

The engraving is not over the top. The colour case hardening is nice. I like the stag floorplate. The stock shape is modern classical. The forend is not overly long. The bolt shroud Rigby pop up peep sight, plus express V and QD scope. The peep is a cool addition. Three sets of sights is redundant, but I think the barrel without express sights would look naked.

I do not like the excessive sized scope. Something much slimmer, lighter and smaller would be far more preferable.

I also would not go for a high gloss stock. Oil rubbed and semi matt. For actual hunting. One was hunting in the Northern Flinders Ranges for goats. And my friends high gloss stock gave off a shine, which I would see from over five kilometres away.
