I have a lifelong friend who is very famous for his single shot books, the latest the standard reference for Pope rifles.
He use a lightbox and very advanced software on a MAC (of course) to produce among the best gun photos you will ever see.

What a beautiful rifle. The 24" barrel looks longer due to its profile and the shorter forend.

In my very humble opinion, that rifle is the epitome of Gunmaking, the only thing I would add is that coveted Rigby peep sight... I was wondering if Mr. Dorleac may had the time to photograph the refinished rifle, I am more than anxius to see the end result.
Hope he finds the time to post the pictures.

Now after restoration using the same methods than when the rifle was built.
I would have preferred to let it in the used state…but the customer and newly owner ordered the full overhaul !
We will pay close attention to your comments.

Hello DORLEAC,
Great work !!!!
I agree about your preference to leave the rifle in the used condition, excelent it was by the way.
Anyway, your restoration have left the rifle very much like an original unused Rigby. I like the "blue" extractor in spite is a "new" style, I think.
I have liked, always, the shape and angle of the trigger in the Rigby rifles!! And I made you a question about the type of modification of the trigger to a single stage, made by Rigby.
Best Wishes!

Have a look at the 11th photo at the beginning of the thread.
The rifle came with that sight already fitted and bearing underside the last digits of the SN.
I believe it has been changed when Rigby has converted the rifle from .350 Rigby Magnum to .375 H&H Magnum Rimless.
We have restored the sight with a new non-glare finish and new gold lines (as requested by the owner).
The dovetail angle is not a true 60° as on the newly made Regnagel express rear sight and even if it appears to have been modified it seems to be from English origin.
Having shot that rifle at the range, the sights are perfectly regulated for the 300 grains bullet.
