Waidmannsheil! I love seeing people taking their wood and blued traditional double rifles out for hunting in this age of carbon, plastic and alloys. Well done sir!

Actually I think the Z6i is dis-discontinued, or brought back. Listed for 2000€

@SStomcat , looks like you have made up your mind about changing from your initial 1-6x24 choices to a 1.5-8x42 (or similar). Very good choice. It is what I would have recommended as well. I don’t know if you have made up your mind about exact brand and model, but do keep an eye out for second...

To be fair, the insults thrown by the likes of Churchill, that show great intellect, are hardly comparable to some bumpkin calling people names.

Don’t you think there is something seriously wrong with a society, when its people can be made to pay the sweat of their brow for the ruling establishment, die in the wars of the ruling establishment yet cannot even utter words of disdain and insult, without the threat of jail? Standards are...

I must say that the Daniel Fraser box locks have the most pleasing lines and form of all box locks. In my opinion at least.

After you ravaged it in the field

Well proportioned and elegant stalking rifles are just a beauty to use. This one is mine in 7x64: It is a Dumoulin Centurion, which originally had an older straight 20mm tube on claw mounts. I had a new set of claws made, with this over the front bell mount on a Swarovski Z6i with a 42mm...

If you can get it at a reasonable price do not hesitate. I’ve seen no rifle finer than by Mr Hartmann & Mr Weiss

So, lead ammunition (for rifles only?) is again ok? At least until the next president goes back on this?

I don’t think anyone is making the case that there is no place for non-iron sighted rifles. Or that without them the rifle cannot be hunted with. What I and others did make a case for is that the people who specifically want a Rigby branded rifle, are looking for traditional form and details...

Most of the political establishment is tone deaf. They just run around in their own self aggrandising echo chambers. The question then is, is it incompetence (failure to see due to ego) ? Or is it with intent (ulterior motives)?

From what I can tell from the website, all iron-sighted Highland Stalkers have the option to have the muzzle end threaded. And due to the Rigby design of the front sight, a little set back behind the muzzle end, there is no interference when adding a suppressor. With a nice flush cap screwed on...

And as an add-on to this: Every option a product maker adds to their product range, can be a positive thing. It evolves the product so it becomes better over time. But it also comes with a negative side, where every additional option, means an additional complexity, less optimized stocks of...

Hello @SStomcat , I'm not sure I truly follow the previous and second post? I only posted once in this thread. Obviously, a specific setup of a rifle is a deeply personal choice. That is for everyone to decide for themselves. However in this case @RIGBY asked the open question if and which...
