Tom, It shoots purty good. I called it an AI actually it's a .275 Rigby Improved AKA 7x57AI. Most of the time it shoots MOA, shows some ability to be better than that. I have neglected this one for quite a while, need to spend some time with it. Will start that very soon. Personally, long tubes on a #1 just make them look sexy.....

Short or long. IMHO one of the best looking rifles ever built.

Beautiful, RGK!
Who did the stock work?
I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....

RGK, that rig is GORGEOUS! Who did the reciever and lever? Turnbull? The stock work, checkering and case hardening were done by Justin McMillan of Hill Country Rifles. Justin also did the custom scope bases, barrel work and installed the Kepplinger trigger. All the work was done in-house by Justin. It groups quite well, too. Bob

I feel woefully inadequate with my one and only #1 and its plain jane wood.... But it has other qualities.....
