    The stock on that one is Geoff Slee's "Rigby" pattern (Geoff passed to the other side some years ago). The rifle came to me as a write off, the original stock was really hacked about.

    Later I sent this stock and an original to Gorden Cusen's in Tasmania, he now holds patterns for them.

    Its a superb wee "mountain rifle".

    I remember reading 2 dogs and a rifle by Ken Cuthbertson as a kid. He had an Orbendorf. I have always thought that they are a beautiful looking rifle.

    Quite mild actually. The recoil is more of a slow forceful push rather than a more violent jolt. The felt recoil is less than my Mod 70 375 H&H magnum.

    That’s a beaut @Allgood , very early rifle with the side plates and prince of Wales style grip , double triggers as well , that aperture sight is a very sought after piece of hardware ,thanks for posting pics mate , I have a Kurz that at some stage in its life had a aperture sight that fitted to the bolt release lever , it’s impossible to find one .

    Here is a link to a John Speed article about the different types of Mauser sporting rifles. You might need to join nitro express to be able to see it. I do have a PDF copy if anyone is interested

    The Jon Speed article I linked shows the differences. Basically A is the flashiest, B is for the working man.
