I just picked this up last week. My version of a 1930's era stalking rifle. Built on a VZ24 action and stocked in a nice piece of English walnut.[Linked Image][Linked Image][img]http://i328.photobucket.com/al...5%20Rigby/IMG_0785_zpsrw5gnrbw.jpg[/img]20Rigby/IMG_0787_zpsvhgwcomc.jpg[/IMG][/URL][Linked Image][Linked Image]
It weighs just over 8lbs as it sits with the scope. It will be ready for Wyoming Antelope and Mule deer in October.

Nice. I have a very fine 7x57 built by Jim Wisner many years ago on a M96 that is just a dream rifle. Just ask ingwe...

Thanks to all for the positive comments. There's only one thing left to do on it and that's a checkered bolt. They are on backorder from Brownells and I didn't want to wait. This winter I'll send the bolt out for a three panel checkering job.

Wow man that is simply stunning; love the stock, quarter rib & colour case hardening!

To whom did you send it for case hardening? Who did the stock work for you?

Gorgeous peice man.

The case color was done by classic gun in Illinois I believe. The stock work was done by my local smith, Central Michigan Gunsmithing.
