Rigby Highland Stalker
Anyone seen one of the new Rigby Highlanders ? The only advertising for it seems to be on Facebook. I think I'll have to place a speculative order in for one in 30/06.

Re: Rigby Highland Stalker
Can you cut and paste for people who aren't on Facebook.
I'm soft and I don't care.

Re: Rigby Highland Stalker
Thank god, I was worried that another high quality firearms maker was bringing out a budget model.
But Damn that's a beautiful rifle.

Re: Rigby Highland Stalker
Yes, I handled the very one in that picture just before they had that press conference in Nuremburg. It is truly a class rifle in the traditional sense, beautiful, sleek, and of high quality workmanship. It is set up for use with open sights and it would be a real shame to upset the form with the addition of a scope. I was really tempted to go after one but in the end decided a K95 Stutzen would be my next target acquisition instead. The only thing I didn't like was the round knob of the pistol grip, that just seemed out of character, for my mental view of fine rifles of that time period. I was going to ask if you could order it with a squared off pistol grip but they got to busy to ask the question and I had to hand it back to them and never got the chance to ask.Rod wrote:Anyone seen one of the new Rigby Highlanders ?

Re: Rigby Highland Stalker
Good to hear from someone who has actually handled one. Interesting to hear your thoughts on handling and using a scope. I've already decided that if I, nah I will put a scope on her, it will be a 1" model. I've got a mint 4x S&B that I reckon will be just right.
Anyway time will tell. My name us down for one, just have to wait a few months I guess.
Cheers

Beautiful rifle and +1 on Bob's comment on the round pistol grip.

Re: Rigby Highland Stalker
FYI - New London Arms Company in Charlotte is an authorized Rigby dealer in the Southeast US. They have an order for 2 coming in.
1 is sold and other is a spec. Not sure what caliber though.

Re: Rigby Highland Stalker
That is on the wish list when Lotto smiles on us.A beautiful rifle although I saw some where else online that people just have to have a beef with bits and pieces so they can demonstrate their knowledge I suppose.
I love the look of this rifle.

They are a beautiful rifle. I called into Rigby in London last week and got to handle a Highland Stalker. Very, very nice.anthrax wrote:That is on the wish list when Lotto smiles on us.A beautiful rifle although I saw some where else online that people just have to have a beef with bits and pieces so they can demonstrate their knowledge I suppose.

Re: Rigby Highland Stalker
Just came from the shop. My Highland Stalker arrived today. A 30/06 with nice dark timber.
Permit to acquire wont be here before I go away for a while so it will be a few weeks until I get to try her out.
I'll try and post a photo I took with the phone.
Cheers
