If someone really wants the closest thing to an old Rigby there are a few makers in this country that can do it, Reto Bueler and James Tucker, who now work for Jeffery and are as good as it gets. And if you really want a Rigby Expert Lon Paul is your man. Last time I was in Lon's shop he had three old stepped ring Rigby 350's he was working on. He built a Rigby style 416 that was so close that Paul Roberts was fooled ! I personally was carrying it at SCI and Paul saw me and called me over and looked at the rifle and said he could tell me within two years when it was built. I handed it to him and he was looking it over closely and I told him to look first at the name on the barrel. It was make Lon Paul, Tanglewood Guns. Paul Roberts looked it over for another five minutes and then said he wished Rigby was doing that quality of work .

Here are a couple of 416's from his shop
