agreed. they need to model the stocks EXACTLY like the top one.




I completely disagree.

The top stock is a 1908 stock designed for open sights and not modern scope use. I for one would use a scope most of the time for a non stopper cartridge, and as these are medium calibre rifles, scopes are the norm. The stock needs to support the needs of actual real users. And as a "standard" design, actual customers.

One can always order a London Best with whatever stock one wants.

But one pays for the Rigby brand name.

On another thread and topic, one certainly pays for the Holland & Holland names. And Purdey And .... if you want one of these brands, expect to pay for the name.

And for a lot of vintage rifles of the same, one may pay even more. I had a discussion on the phone with one of members with a big collection about this. The vintage rifles will cost more.

As has been said, for actual use, a custom made rifle of a similar design. But it will be a "custom" whatever rifle, not a "Rigby". For those that think that matters. Hunting with a branded rifle or a whatever rifle, if made to similar specs, makes not difference to the hunt or the game.
