I'm with the guy from Port Chalmers on this one I'm afraid. Tarting up a Rigby with OTT engraving doesn't make it more attractive to me. It makes it less so. And frankly, I think it's questionable taste at best.

I understand why they want the attention but to my way of thinking it's a bit like putting gold plated door handles on an old Jag. Sure, there's probably a market for it, but is it your target market?

The thing about the old Rigby rifles is that they were, with few exceptions, intended as entirely functional, utterly reliable, sporting rifles - albeit for the very well heeled. They were essentially plain, elegant and very well made and intended to be used.

If it were my company, I'd just be sticking to my knitting rather than branching out into the flamboyant.

Well, that's my opinion anyway.
