Since the forum has already paid homage to the Highland Stalker, let's get a thread going for Rigby's other magazine rifle, The Rigby Big Game. I do not own one but it's now on the short list for 2025.

Let's see some examples from those that own one. What options did you go with? Did you custom configure it from Rigby or purchase it as is from a retailer? What was your overall impression been regarding the Big Game in terms of build quality, functionality, workmanship etc.? Were these rifles ever offered in anything other than 375HH, 416 Rigby & 450 Rigby?

Let's see those big game rifles!
 
As a rule I’m shy about posting on threads like this, but I’m just so proud and I’m also keen to bury the hatchet with @roverandbrew without having to send him a copy of my -214.

Single Square Bridge, standard grade. Like so many, I got lucky on the wood.

Very nice, what is the standard grade wood on these? Grade 5?
 
It’s unique for sure. The Highland Stalkers are taking a lighter shade of late, I’ve heard various explanations. It’s still beautiful wood, it’s just not that same red hue.

Purdey says their oil/color is proprietary and they just refer to it as “red goop” I think. Anyway, looks pretty close to the Rigby gun color. My Big Game next to the Purdey looks pretty close.

(Veer.. sorry, I’ll be quick)
BTW, the Mauser M25 will be unveiled in Dortmund next Tuesday.

Is the Mauser 25 a true Mauser or another pushfeed?

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
