Rigby did not only have the Germans manufacture the action, but were also know to have the Germans provide JohnRigby&Co. with an already stocked barrelled action.
The rear bridge mount slot goes completely through the bridge of the receiver. ie; you can see the bolt body. The slot has angled wall, to create a rearward wedge arrangement with scope ring.

Looks very nice JC. Which of the 350 Rigby calibers is it? The 350 magnum which used the rimless cartridge in 250 grains, or the 350 No. 2 which has a slanted box magazine so it can use that rimmed cartridge with its 225 grain bullet?
Especially admire the aperture sight on the cocking piece.

Great rifle- I have its twin, but have not started to reload.
I wouldn't worry about Bertram brass being soft. I use his seconds 416Rigby cases and even when loaded to near 416Weatherby velocities his brass performs well. Others I know have no problem with his brass and if he uses his 350 for most of his shooting then that brass would certainly be good quality.
