Sorry Dugaboy, maybe I didn't explain myself properly, as I said, I don't know anything about current Rigby rifles or where they are made ??

---

Made by Merkel in Europe - no problems here from most people's opinions.

Butchered in California - Plenty of problems here.


Not sure where the extra price increase comes in.

500Nitro only the Merkel action in the white is made in Germany! The rest of the rifle is made in california! The Barrels are American made PAC-NOR and are good barrels. IMO the Merkel action and barrel blanks are the best part of the finished rifle. The workmanship is about average for an OFF THE SHELF $10K double. The engraveing is worth more than the rifle it's self!

The only reason they can get the prices they post are because many think they are getting a real RIGBY rifle when all they are getting is a run of the mill double rifle with a purchased Rigby name on it!
