I'm surprised at your response. I would have thought you would have been able to state your preference for the chambering. I certainly would be open to other opinions including yours concerning this.
Looks like you've backed yourself into.a corner with your comments and accusations and now refuse to further comment. Maybe CGN isn't a good fit for you afterall.

No, stock and rifle were both built by a guy named Ian Dingwall who worked in Vancouver. Dad had it built for him. Actually, I've got the sales receipt for it. Dad didn't like to throw things out.
It is. I'll have to get some photos under better light. It's a beautiful piece of wood but very much in the California-style that was popular at the time.

As you well know the 275Rigby is the English version of the 7x57 aka 7mm Mauser. All three are exactly the same.
For a classic Faux Rigby styled rifle, what chambering would you have chosen?
Great cartridge choice and beautiful rifle! IMO one of the most balanced cartridges out there. I have a couple 7x57's aswell.

That's a very nice rifle indeed. One of the downfalls of looking at other folks nice guns is that you see little things you like and wish you had used that idea yourself.
Joel .
your weakness is you have to interfere in everyone's conversation , close it already
you make sarcastic remarks more than positive
you always do that , and Chuck .. MIND your own business and quit trying too impress us how much you think you know

There is no sarcasm font on here...we all are self aware of our brilliance.
'Cept me...I'm just a Fudd...waiting on the sidelines to annoy clever boys like yourself in the middle of you're explaining valuable concepts to the Canadian shooting community.
Thanks for you help. We shall endeavor to live up to your lofty input...We are not worthy! We are not worthy!
It's 2023 and people are still discussing wood vs synthetic? May as well discuss 270 vs 30-06
If firearms were a new invention in 2023, would any gun maker be reaching for wood to make stocks out of?
how long on google for you two .... slam dunk again
Both for me. It depends on the use case. In some cases I have wood and composite stocks for the same gun.
One of my favorites I often talk about is my dad's old push-feed Model 70. Cheap beech stock, no checkering. But it is very nice in hand and despite being snowed on for weeks on end I've experienced no issues with it over decades of use. I also have an HS Precision stock for it that removes all doubt in the worst weather. I'd really like to find a long action Featherweight take-off and treat it to Schaftol and tung oil for a few weeks though.
Even my T3X laminate - I bought a plastic factory stock for it and drilled in some pillars just to experiment with. I will stick to the laminate for sight in now that the weather is good but might try out my new abomination later in the summer when I'm bored.
