Re: J. Rigby & Co with Mauser creates – The Big Game Rifle

At 13.5k with those homely looks, it has a lot of competition. But, if they could make them like the prewar rifle pictured above, and I mean exactly like it, they could sell them at 4 times that figure. If I remember correctly there is a Francotte .416 pictured in Speed's book that looks more like an original pre-war Rigby than anything else I've seen. There are also a few custom pieces around by Jack Haugh and others that are close in some ways. The Hartmann and Weiss work is nice. But nothing compares with the exquisite lines of the prewar Rigbys. (only my opinion, of course)
