I like the barrel band placed out a bit, Rigby style grin

Rigby style? That's the Rigby that was presented to Corbett after he shot the man-eating tigress in Champawat. You can't get much more Rigby than that! whistle

Purdey? Check out WR website. That's their bolt action rifle. It's the one in the bottom case I posted above. It starts at $27,000+. Like I said, $7500 is a drop in the bucket. grin

Rev-That rifle that you so covet reminds me of a custom 270 Winchester I had Hal Hartley of Lenoir, NC build for me in 1970. Douglas premium barrel, FN Supreme action, and his famous tiger tail maple stock with 26 lines per inch checkering and fleur-de-lis engraving. It was a beauty reminiscent of the old Kentucky rifles in color.

If I had the chance to go to Africa, the greater Kudu would be the top animal on my hunting list. Too chicken to hunt dangerous game I like the more sedate species.

I can relate. Someone asked me if hunting wild pigs is dangerous. I said, "Not 15 feet in the air it isn't."

Understood. I would love to hunt Grizzly or Kodiak but will remain an armchair hunter. One way I'd hunt them is by helicopter. I'd feel relatively safe at that point. I admire those that have the testicular fortitude to do it by ground.

Cape Buffalo does. Leopard with a Taurus, not so much. As for the pigs, it all depends on who made the knife!! grin

Yes sir, they all count. Back in my younger days I wounded a Mule Deer and had to follow him in the bush. He jumped up and charged. I ripped off my belt and had to choke him.

Mule deer with a belt is up there pretty high. I'm gonna go see if I can shoot a pig...assuming our summer storms hold off. I'm not much for sitting in a tree in Florida lightning.

Same action, so I'm guessing you can dress the Mark X up a bit.

I'm betting even a poor humble priest can afford a Mark X wink
