SHOOTER’S SHOWCASE

Rigby Rifles

Originally founded by John Rigby in 1775, British firearm manufacturer John Rigby & Co. produces arguably the finest selection of shotguns, bolt actions and double rifles the world has seen. Priced accordingly, they offer the very best in workmanship. For example, their bolt action rifles are available in a large selection of models and chamberings from which to choose. One of their most popular these days is the Rigby Highland Stalker, which is hailed as the traditional deerstalking rifle.

The new Highland Stalker offers a grade 5 walnut stock with hand-finished checkering and original style engraving. Added to this is a round-finished grip and ambidextrous stock. Incorporating a Mauser 98 action that has been drilled and tapped for scope mounts, the Highland Stalker barrel features traditional Rigby pattern iron sights that are regulated to 60, 150 and 250 yards. While most know the Rigby name for African hunting and large-calibre hunting rifles, the Highland Stalker is, as the name implies, an excellent deer hunting rifle also available
