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.

Gun 3 of 25 may look like a modest antique magazine rifle but it is in fact a highly accurate replica of the most famous sporting rifle produced in history. The original rifle, a .275 Rigby magazine rifle, was awarded to Jim Corbett for killing the man-eating tigress of Champawat. It then features many times in his much-loved memoirs, Man-Eaters of Kumaon. The replica was built as a new rifle but given a patina to emulate the knocks and age of the original. #RIGBY #GUNMAKERS #FITFORPURPOSE
