Gentlemen,

today I had to aquire an original John Rigby single shot hammer rifle with a new equipped barrel in 6x70R.

The 6x70R is a proprietary cartridge of Norma with a very long case (70mm) and a ridiculous small bullet diameter of 6mm.
The reason for this configuration was to reduce the strain on the locking system, so the cartridge pressure was set for 2400 or 2800 bar (90grs Ballistic Tip for about 700 m/s)

I will use this rifle for the oncoming 1st of May, the opening day for the roe deer hunting season.

Any comments will be welcome!

best regards
Rolf
