Good afternoon Gentlemen

The new 08 Magnum actions are designed from the ground up and manufactured in England.

She is fully 9 5/8” long and does not utilize components from any other manufacturer.
20% of the population are left handed so we wished to give them a complete left handed gun so we did so. She has left hand threads on the safety to ensure correct function, left handed cartridge stagger so that she loads from the correct side of the box a complete three position Left handed safety in fact She is a complete mirror.

She is in the final stages of testing. The materials engineers have determined that the ring hoop stress analysis indicates an increase of % 360 over that of an original Obendorf, we await the bolt lug shear tests as I write this today.

We took the decision to make the action longer than any other before for the following reason:

We could see in our lifetime the possibility of some jurisdictions banning the use of lead in bullets. This would, in order to make monometal bullets heavy enough for caliber, cause the necessity to make the OAL of some rounds longer. All other actions could suffer from a lack of action length and box room.
We did not want a future where one had to say “I love my Rigby, but I cannot shoot it anymore”

As we say on our web site we are building guns for this generation and the next to enjoy.

Best Wishes

The Directors, John Rigby & Co. (Gunmakers) Ltd., Jno.Rigby&Co.
