My brother-in-law and I just jointly went in on a Rigby Big Game in .375H&H from @GENTZ SPORTING ARMS. Jason was awesome as usual! I am also really impressed by Rigby’s “Grade 5” wood, which is their standard entry grade! Well done @RIGBY!!

I love the idea.... but I would live in eternal fear of being the one to put the first big gouge in it. :)

Beautiful rifle!
 
Stunning piece of timber on that rifle. Congratulations on acquiring a very nice rifle. Hope it accompanies you and your brother-in-law on many adventures
 
You were very lucky, I've never seen another standard grade 5 stock like that on a Rigby Big Game before, that's a beautiful piece of wood.
Agreed. I've seen many standard grade Rigby stocks that looked (I hate to use the word) plain for a $15K+ rifle. Or at least they looked that way in pictures (very possible they are nicer in the flesh). I always assumed I'd be going the upgrade route (grade 7+) if I ever ordered a Rigby, but I'd be thrilled with that wood. Congrats!

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.
