Anyone have a Stalking rifle to flaunt?

[Johnn Peterson]

For the big guys, I have my Marlin dark 45-70 love that gun...

For the longer lighter stuff I have the new Springfield waypoint in 6.5PRC on order... can’t wait!!!

As far as choices go, we're close. For "one of the bigger boys", I picked up a Marlin GBL in 45-70. And, for the "longer lighter stuff", very recently I acquired a Remington 700 CDL SF Limited Edition in 6.5 Creedmoor, that I have yet to shoot. Now, to get them some field experience.

I recently acquired a 9.3x62 built by W. Förster. She points like a finger with our with out the scope. Can’t wait to get it out. Looks beefy but feels slender. Has some weight in the butt stock. There is some recoiling reducer in there. Perhaps Mercury as I can hear it.

Feel free to share any info on this rifle as there was limited amounts I found online.

Chris has done another faux Rigby Stalker in 275 Rigby with a few changes towards the original including more traditional sights and rounded knob. I like the sights better than mine, but not enough to spend money on it. He calls it the "Griesbach Improved".

Turned out to be a very nice rifle. I'm pretty sure this one is for sale.

Just curious about the LOP... it appears to be very long?

great job and rifle well done.

I personally handled that Griesbach rigby just this week. It’s a fantastic rifle. Amazingly light.

That one is 14". It's on a Mexican SR intermediate action. 22" bbl.

 

[The Kurgan]

Beautiful rifle for sure.

 

[buckbrush]

That is VERY nice. All it needs is a Rigby cocking piece sight.

Awesome rifle. Best one in this thread for a classic, imo. Förster built wicked rifles.

And this is a Meisterstück.

Handsome would be an understatement!
