The sloped butt I do not like at all. The second one down, isn't too bad to my eye, but the bottom 2 are nasty.




Daryl,

All the modern rifle stocks are the same shape and specs. The lighting, shadows, angle of the stocks, photo sizing etc might look like some differences between them But they are the same. (at least I think so!). One photos the rifle is angled differently. The other two the rifles look flatter. The lighting has quite an effect too.

Which is why I created the post. Because the ?magnum" rifle has the same stock as the standard Highland Stalker. Which a lot of people previously liked. Have a look at the link to the original thread.

I do like the look of the standard model. I could handle one of these with a price I could afford. The longer barrel I would have to have a good think. And compare the specs and looks to other magnum barrelled rifles. How the stocks might differ.

I would not say no to a vintage rifle either. If the drop can still handle a scope, but few of these would have been scoped. For a modern hunting rifle, an unscoped 7x57 would be a bit of a lesser performer.

Had a look at a Jeffery, Rigby, perhaps another Rigby, all three in .275 or 7x57, at a meeting at Marrakai's in Darwin. Very nice and slim and quite beautiful. I could see why so many people lust over a nice vintage Rigby or Rigby clone.
