I have no experience with American Rigby rifles except that they also have all the original records from Rigby and when I called them to get some info on a magazine Rigby I have in 350, they were less than helpful to say the least. Paul Roberts did keep COPIES of all the Rigby records, and even though he has now moved on to Jeffreys, he was more than happy to personally look up my rifle for me and spent a long time talking with me. I also agree that vintage Rigby magazine rifles are the quintessential Express rifle in design and execution and, in comparison, Hollands bolts and Westley Richards are not quite as nicely done nor quite as elegant. I also had a Rigby in 416 from the Robert's Rigby era (built in 1988) that was a superb rifle in all respects, built on a BRNO 602 action.
