It's interesting that the aesthetics of the early rigbys are so prized now, especially the .416. When Rigby designed and built the rifles, they probably weren't focused on aesthetics much at all. The same is true of the Mauser action itself. Now, more than 100 years later, we've all come to admire the looks of the action, especially the bolt, as much as the functionality.

I don't know about these efforts to replicate the original Rigbys. Maybe they will prove as futile as trying to reverse engineer a fine wine, or a violin.
