I recognized the Biesen fluer de lis on the pistol grip. However, I have never studied the O'Connor tribute rifle. I have been researching O'Connor's rifles and shotguns in Robert Anderson's great book, "Jack O'Connor, the Legendary Life of America's Greatest Gunwriter". I heard about the tribute rifles when they were built, but never went further.

Being a 200-pound, 6-1 mouse, I took Jack's advice for his wife Eleanor of a soft-recoil inherently accurate 7 X 57.

The 7X57 is one of my favorite calibers. I just had a custom rifle built but as I used a 1930's era stalking rifle as a theme I designated it a 275 Rigby. It took it's first deer two nights ago

Good job on the deer with a new rifle. I know what a 7x57 is and love its offspring (.257 Roberts) but know nothing about the 275 Rigby. Is that a pseudonym for the same caliber?

I am also a huge fan of the 7x57. I was under the impression, probably incorrect, that the 275 Rigby was the rimmed version so the English could use it in double rifles.

Rigby used Mauser actions and the Germans already had a cartridge labeled the 7Mm Mauser. Rigby who had an agreement with Mauser adopted the cartridge in 1907 as the 275 Rigby. This designation comes from the British method of using land diameter vs groove or bullet diameter for naming a cartridge. The cases are identical.
