I don't rush to put up works of art on here anymore because the p###ants can't hold it in. This is an absolute work of art, not some old tattered rifle with the rust scoured off it. It is becoming very tiresome how some can't appreciate what they like, but ignore what they don't. Especially over such a work of art so well done in every way.

Would I buy it? Of course not. I wouldn't sell my house my buy a rifle to hang on the wall. I too want working rifles but I can appreciiate works of art.

It is quite a joke to see people saying "if the company was mine, I would be doing ..." when they have absolutely no ffffing idea. Works of art rifles like this one are made for the big gun show and safari club auctions. Putting some plain jane rifle up - "ho hum, who cares? Lets move on ..." would be the result. Instead of huge attention.

"If the company was mine, I would make ... exact copies of the original vintage Rigby ... " as people keep saying on here ... and what? Sell a rifle for $9000 which costs twice as much to make? And go bankrupt instantly. And maybe sell very few as maybe the majority of the modern market does not like the older design anymore? Or sell them at the current Classic London Best price and sell a dozen in a year, instead of ten or twenty dozen of the new design ....

Yeah right ...

Rigby's success has been huge. Huge attention for the works of art showpieces. Sales of the "Big Game Rifle" model at a multiple of the number they expected to sell. No doubt to be repeated with the newly released Highland Stalker. And the Rigby Rising bite doubel rifle, so many orders they closed the order book until they catch up ...

I think this gunmaking company knows what it is doing ...

Again I question why I bother putting up some of the more unusual examples of great gunmaker skill on here. The usual suspects always can't keep their traps shut ... have a look at the gentlemanky code of conduct expected for any member on here for future behaviour.

I may be a bit harsh above, but am busy and will leave it here. Probably will come back and moderate this post when I cool down. This thread was supposed to be a pleasant discussion on a Work of Art rifle, as an archive of the video and to be displayed photos, but nowadays some never fail to not impress ...

Haven't got time for it now, work to do ...
