Here is a photo of the new Rigby taken at the recent Sika show in Taupo.
The local agent for Rigby is Davey Hughes, best known for his Swazi line of outdoor wear

Very nice

Does that rifle have the Rigby peep sight on the bolt?

[Hendrik470]

This one did not have the peepsight if I recall

[Corjack]

Very nice? Are you going to buy one?

[9.3x64]

Very nice indeed.
Thanks for posting.

I was seriously considering it, but now rather looking at another double rifle.

Davey is a living legend. A true mountain man and as hard as nails. I had no idea he was a dealer for firearms. You learn something everyday.

Davey is a living legend.

Wouldn't know about that but his company makes some damn fine kit. I still like my Swannies but I wear a lot of Swazi fleece as well.

Oops, of topic, sorry......

G'day Hendrik, do you know what price it's listed at?

There are a few early Rigby's floating about over here. I had a play with a Rigby takedown in 303 British a couple of months back. Made about 1906 IIRC. She was in mint condition and was apparently made for one of the Viceroy's. Same bloke also has two other Rigby's, but I know that they have had work done on them over the years. Still very nice rifles.

Cheers

Its not available anymore, but if I recall the guy wanted around $8k for it. Which is not bad

[Rod]

Yep, that was a good price. Probably explains why she's gone.
Thanks mate.
