Just scroll down and browse the pics. Sometimes there just aren't words... http://forums.nitroexpress.com/show...amp;Number=245742&page=0&fpart=1

Lovely piece of work. Certainly worthy of anything from London.
My only question would be the consistency of the bolt mounted peep sight. Seems like a Lyman 48 or similar receiver sight would have more consistent (i.e. fixed) placement of the sight.

America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

First off - gorgeous rifle!
Now - why does it have one standing blade and four folding leaf sights AND a popup peep sight? It's a serious question, why have both leaf sights and a peep sight?
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.

The guy that had it built got a little carried away...and probably has no intention of ever using it....

Stunning, beautiful little rifle but I could do without that parade of rear sites, myself.  How do we think a Nightforce would work on that rifle? Anybody?  
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

That's evil, just evil - even in jest. I love the very classy near to eye peep and front sight. The leaf sights may be traditional; but are, I agree, also pointless.

My only question would be the consistency of the bolt mounted peep sight. Seems like a Lyman 48 or similar receiver sight would have more consistent (i.e. fixed) placement of the sight. Tex, the diopter peep mounted on the striker was a standard option on Rigbys. Here it is as an option on the current M98. They even identify it as a Rigby-style diopter. I've seen a few pics of Rigbys with both the striker mounted peep and folding leaf sights on an island rib, just like the Dorleac in the pictures. http://www.mauser.com/en/products/m98/options/
"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
