Not my cup of tea, but sincerely glad this London firm are willing to broaden the base of the Rigby style.
What a marvellous rifle that would be to carry in the hunting field for the more diminutive quarry we often seek.
Its a great pity there are no elegant mini-Mauser Rigbys around with 50 or 60 years of warm patina and a .222 chamber!
Now that would interest me greatly!

Beautifully executed (from the looks of the one available pic) but, bit of a painted-up tart for my tastes.
Back in the day, these rifles were typically made for well heeled young sporting chaps to actually hunt with. Not so much these days it would seem.

Shiny yes for the wealthy but perhaps a "plain Jane" walnut/blued common man rifle would be well received also by us lesser mortals.

I'm not sure I agree, I like a little painted up tart now and then.
Great little rifle for Roe Buck.

Re: Rigby .223

Personally, I'm not much "up" on the gold fill on the action, however I do like the way they actually filled the stock & polished the oil (hopefully not plastic or epoxy)). I got a finish like this using true oil and a rouge paste for final polish - on a Belgium Browning - some time back.
