Rigby’s “Grade 5” Stock

[franzfmdavis]

My brother-in-law and I just jointly went in on a Rigby Big Game in .375H&H from @GENTZ SPORTING ARMS. Jason was awesome as usual! I am also really impressed by Rigby’s “Grade 5” wood, which is their standard entry grade! Well done @RIGBY!!

Great idea to share it.

Hopefully, he’ll go in on a .416 too

I love the idea.... but I would live in eternal fear of being the one to put the first big gouge in it.

Beautiful rifle!

You were very lucky, I've never seen another standard grade 5 stock like that on a Rigby Big Game before, that's a beautiful piece of wood.

Stunning piece of timber on that rifle. Congratulations on acquiring a very nice rifle. Hope it accompanies you and your brother-in-law on many adventures

Agreed. I've seen many standard grade Rigby stocks that looked (I hate to use the word) plain for a $15K+ rifle. Or at least they looked that way in pictures (very possible they are nicer in the flesh). I always assumed I'd be going the upgrade route (grade 7+) if I ever ordered a Rigby, but I'd be thrilled with that wood. Congrats!

I agree, that is the best piece of grade 5 wood I have ever seen.

A beauty!

 

[wesheltonj]

That is a very nice stick of wood. I can't believe that just a grade 5.

Wow, very nice !

Well done!

Agreed that would the beautiful grade 5 I’ve ever seen, even in pictures.

I remember a couple of years ago someone posted a pic of a Rigby rifle that was new and for sale somewhere in Africa, that had a stock that appeared to be maid out of forklift pallet lumber.

That's a great idea. Especially for us Gomers, that want to go on one DG hunt, then have a 416 or a Lott that is of no use to them in the elk woods. Have your hunt, then hand it down to the next guy. Too bad you got stuck with a sapwood board on that gun (ha)..........Couldn't ask for more I don't think.....FWB

 

[CZDiesel]

Beautiful Franz! What a great DG rifle from a historic rifle maker in a historic cartridge! One couldn’t ask for more…
