The John Rigby & Co released a number of a series of photos and some commentary on recent rifles they have made.

Some excellent rifles, mauser and rising bites. Some heavily embellished, some very vintage, a mixture. I hope the gentlemen of NE enjoy these over the next few weeks.

Rigby 2 of 25 - Rigby Rising Bite sidelock ejector in .500 Nitro Express

Gun 2 of 25 is a stunning .500 nitro express Rising Bite side lock ejector. The rifle incorporates a traditional Rigby quarter rib and front ramp sight, grade eight deluxe stock and leather covered pad. The Rigby scroll engraving was completed by Andy Miles. The game scenes of lion, elephant and rhino are by Rigby's in-house engraver Geoffrey Lignon. The entire rifle was designed, assembled, stocked and finished in house by the team of craftsman at the Rigby workshop, London. We incorporated an individually numbered enamel oval on the grip cap created by hand by a living descendent of John Rigby, founder of the company in 1775. Melissa Rigby is the great, great, great granddaughter of John Rigby and it was an honour to include this on the rifle along with 19 others. #RIGBY #GUNMAKERS #FITFORPURPOSE
