I have not seen a new Rigby up close so cannot comment on its quality. However, since the action is a 20 Ga Merkel (like Merkel double rifles), I find it hard to put more value on it than a Merkel unless the engraving was unusually fine. The new Rigbys I have seen in magazines have engraving quality that is closer to cartoon animal quality. This seems to be quite common today. My own personal opinion is that a $10,000 or $20,000 gun should have engraving of a quality commensurate to the gun's value. As a result, I cannot see why the Rigby should be any more in price than a Merkel. Since I have not seen a new Rigby, I am open to comments why my logic above may be flawed.

I also do not understand why the Merkel prices vary so greatly for the same new gun. The differences are staggering.
