Saying it again. The barrel would look far better with sights on it. And perhaps a taper or slimmer profile. Putting it against the older rifle(s)_, one Corbett's, the other a new Rigby copy of it. The barrel on the new one might not be that thick after all? But I think a different barrel profile might be nicer. Have said that three or four time now, so should stop.

Putting these rifles up against each in similar sizes, and somewhat similar imagery, the angles and lighting are different. The newer rifle is not bad, and is more modern in appearance and shape. And will no doubt appeal to some buyers, probably a lot of well heeled new buyers.

The older rifle does have an appearance and shape and style more attractive to me. As it does with most members here.

The old patina etc of the old rifle, or the replica, is not necessary, the shape of the stock, sights, and barrel does look nicer. Stock finishes? No one buys a NEW rifle with a worn stock finish. Making one of those old rifles with new blue and new stock finish, oil rub etc, they might look a bit different as well.
