Reproducing Harry Selby's 416 Rigby

[barretcreek]

My old buddy, Gimp, is currently in bad shape. Gimp contributed a lot to this project, and to honor him as best I know how, I am changing the name of this rifle from "Rosey" to "The Gimp". Hang on Gimp. The world wouldn't be the same without you, your wit, and your knowledge. I hope someday to be as tough a man as you.

+1 to our good friend.

Saw this thread and thought back to when I posted on another site my desire to snag a Remington Model 30 off the rack at a store down the road. Guy chimed in and sold me his CZ Rigby at a steal. Love it, but the stock is too much of a club. Need to get an MPI, their dimensions are ideal.

I was recently given a friendly reminder that I never finished this thread. I will endeavor to do so in the coming weeks of continued isolation. The floorplate needs finishing, and I need to add weight to the stock. This puppy climbs like an F16 fighter. I will make weights of lead and install. I may try videos this time.
