BakesMy .416 Rigby is underway!
Whilst down Lithgow way, I went to see my gunsmith and nutted out the new rifle. The action work has been started, I picked out a piece of wood, nothing fancy or expensive, just a nice bit of straight grained walnut. Ebony forend, Buff horn grip cap (water not cape). New bolt handle and trigger, express sights (1 fixed-2 folded)wrap around chequering, barrel band....Now I've just got to sell a kidney to pay for it!

416SWNice one Bakes
Sounds like it will be a very nice looking rifle.
Please post pics when finished.
Let me know where you sell the kidney and how much you get for it as I may need to sell one as well - to afford my next project.
