Not sure anybody actually hates an original Rigby or a Rigby double of any vintage for that matter.
Fantastic rifles, all in great cartridges.
One of the chaps at the BGRC has an original Rigby Rising Bite in 400-350 and I was fortunate enough to be able to shoot several rounds with it. What a gun and very mild to shoot, sort of like a 30-06.
