Re: Rigby (original) Vs Purdey, H&H and WR

Amen! The most accurate double I ever owned was a 470 Rigby boxlock. It would shoot right and left barrel touching at 60 yards. My 476 Westley was almost as good but my Holland was God awful with no where near the accuracy of the aforementioned. The H&H was a cased 465 Dominion grade sidelock that I am convinced was hexed. One any given day it would initially shoot right and left barrel about two inches apart at 60 yards. The next time out, it would shoot the identical load 6 to 8 inches apart. If you fired the left barrel first, it would double and knock the shit out of the shooter. I also had an H&H Royal shotgun that was very problematic as well. They were the last Hollands I would ever own. Give me a Rigby any day of the week.
