My long dreamed Rigby

Very nice. Any rifle that received Paul’s production supervision and approval is a wonderful thing. Congrats on owning one of the finest rifles produced toward the end of the last century.

Red Leg, thank you so much for your words, indeed I'm very proud to be the owner of this beauty. By my point of view, it's really "the perfect rifle" for what is intended. It's a working tool, and a work of art, for us passionate hunters.
Many thanks again.
 
Great Looking rifle, hopefully soon it will be in Africa where a classic firearm like that belongs.
 
That’s beautiful congratulations! Looking forward to hearing how it shoots
Thank you Nh, by now I've only shot it at target, but man, it's very accurate and it likes very much Swift A Frame!
(the friend who gave me used Woodleighs both soft and solids).
Here are a couple pics.

First one, at 50 mt with iron sights, very fast 1-2 shots, 1" between centers.
The "closer" leaf is regulated at 100 yrds,
so it's ok it goes a bit high.

Second picture, at 100mt with the scope @4X, two shots in one hole a bit on the left, than (after some cliks) another shot, that is more or less dead on, as you see.

Since this first time at the range, I've shot another time with it from "field" position, but I'm trying to save cartridges by now (very difficult supplying) and at the moment I'm also more focused on another "pet" rifle that will be with me in Yukon.
Anyway I'm very happy how it shots, and it's a rifle I'm already very confident in...

The first standing leaf sight should be for 100 yards, but the main iron shallow v should be on at 65 yards

But since I love shooting with irons, I will try it @200 - only at targets, of corse. It's a good training. But thank you anyway, Spike

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
