Classic English Rifle Stock Style - Opinions Needed
30/06/14 03:44 AM

As a Rigby is rather out of my financial league and is likely to remain so, I've started a project building a 275 Rigby-like rifle using a large ring 98 action. While the metal parts are "relatively" easy to come by (barrel, sights, bolt handle, etc.), I'm sort of stuck trying to find a stock which replicates the feel and spirit of those early sporters for a reasonable cost. I picked up a sporter stock from ebay at a very low cost, but after taking off the cheek-piece and changing the radius of the grip, it just doesn't look right to me when compared to photos - too shotgun like with a high comb.

Stock photos ... the first is what I'm trying to modify ...

I've been in touch with Walnut Grove Gunstocks who have the old Great American Gunstock patterns. They've shared the following:

And these are from Great American Gunstock ... now Walnut Grove - recent photo.

British Express Rifle Pattern(from the defunct GAG web page)

British Stalking Rifle Pattern(from the defunct GAG web page)

I would greatly appreciate any feedback or suggestions from the Rigby experts here as to which looks closest to a early Rigby rifle ... to give me something to work with.

Thanks much!
