Accurate Double rifle - .303 Rigby
      12/03/06 12:22 AM

Just figured that I would post a quick comment about doubles and accuracy. Yesterday I got the oppertunity to shoot a friends new (to him anyway) .303 Rigby double. We were shooting 174gr PMC through it. Test ranges were 100 yards and mainly 200 yards. Shooting at discarded clay pigeons at 100 yards and a 6" gong at 200 yards. Right or left barrels were pegging every partial pigeon laying on the ground at 100 yards we shot at. Left barrel was making the gong ring each time the gun was pointed at it and fired, with the right just skimming over the tops with a center hold on the gong, and pegging the upper half with a 6 o' clock hold. I was ashamed when I brought my .375 (M70) out and we shot it. It is accurate, but nothing like that little Rigby. Nor was it nearly as immediately placed on target when shouldered like the Rigby. Never again will I say English express sights are optimistic, and the accuracy of that rifle is still amazing me. By the way, shots were taken from both a bench rest and standing position.

--------------------
500 is a nice round number, either followed by "Nitro Express" or by "cubic inch displacement".
