    Ah Rigby with a synthetic stock? No man! If you spending 90k on a rifle, what's another 10 or 15 on a wooden stock.

    Magnum arms make custom stocks, Alan Henry makes amazing stocks.

    Nothing wrong with the stock! In fact, that's the only part of that particular rifle that I like.

    Thanks. Always like to support local if possible. Keep the economy going.
    It will cost me substantially less than a Mcmillan landed from the US.

    That adds another 10% to the cost for now. The plan was to get in under R50k, but thats not going to happen. I need to safe money so that I can actually hunt with it.

    If I have the story correctly, the current Armtech stocks are built on the same recipe and moulds that Terry Harrison used to build stocks on several years ago. The stocks certainly look identical (for the same rifle/model). And Terry was reputed to have copied the construction methods and materials of McMillan. If true, there should still be some similarity between the 2 makes.

    Good news. My offer on a Sako 75 Large action got accepted!

    I thus changed my plans to now have a 416 Remington Magnum build.

    Would still be 22 inch barrel, heavy profile etc.

    You can try Ralph Badenhorst, he machines his own actions and they are amazing. He might be able to assist.

    Thanks Koekie Monster.
    I found a left hand large Sako action. My gunsmith has fitted the 22” Truvelo barrel and is about to fit the sights. The synthetic stock have also arrived, so the built is close to an end.
