I vote red pad no tip and stay with the Rigby pattern, elegantly simple. Don't forget the rounded grip knob......
After flip/flopping several times, I did finally decide on a .750" red pad w/o the black tip which is more keeping with the Rigby style. The rounded knob will be replaced with a simple steel grip cap instead. The front sight will be a bit farther back on the bbl about .375" much like some of the older English rifles. Trigger guard will be stamped with the ser#.
Barrel came in this week. Will be a Ron Smith 1:8" gain twist .600" at the muzzle. 23" long.
