Rigby Highland Stalker vs Sako 85 Deluxe

[Red Leg]

In Australia you can buy 3 Sako 85 Deluxes for the price of 1 Rigby HS, so I don't see it as a valid comparison. Rigby is control feed, Sako is push feed. Rigby will hold its value, Sako is a very nice commercial rifle that will depreciate.
Both are available in 9.3X62 which is a classic cartridge for Africa.

What he said. Here too you can get a nice trio of Sako 85 Deluxes for the cost of the Rigby. Either in 30=06 will perform as advertised. But, it really is an apples to oranges comparison which is fine. I own examples of apples and oranges of a lot of different makes and calibers.

Yes, not apples to apples.

First listing I found:

My rifle is Left Handed, but in excellent condition. Not sure where that leaves it for value…
