Thread on the "medium Bore" forum says this! Haven't verified it myself (yet). Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; | ||

Buys which Rigby? The only Rigby worth anything to me is long gone. Who holds the rights to the name is kind of meaningless. | |||

The royal warrants are at Blaser in San Antonio, Texas! Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

The Royal warrants would cease to be valid once the old firm died. They (warrants) are not an ongoing thing is supply ceases although of course old one's are displayed. Previously 500N with many thousands of posts ! | |||

505G, I understand that! I was just trying to make the point the Rigby is now owned by Blaser! Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

Rusty, All, To be totally correct, Rigby is owned by the investment group that owns Blaser, Sauer, Sig, Mauser, and perhaps another or two that I don't know about. My understanding is that Rigby will be moved back to London and operate from there. TT | |||
|
| One of Us |
Yes, it is correct. It will be in that group and technical close to Mauser. They will start back in some months, doubels will costs 60.000 Euros up. The most (technical) work will be done in Germany. | |||

So then what is happening to the other "new" Rigby guys that where at the shows this year saying they were going to build doubles? Mac | |||

I'd be willing to bet that all the production work will be done in that big factory in Germany! Everything they need to manufacture a firearm is under one roof in Germany! The investment group is out to make a profit, not do a London "Start up"! Most likely a "Boutique Shop" in London! Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

So, will the Blaser S2 doubles continue? I have one in 500NE and LOVE it! Have no intention of spending $60K+ for another. Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies.

Good question! | |||

As I understand it, there is but one Rigby now, not two or three. | |||

Who cares about the 'medium bore' Rigby, when you can get a real 'large bore', aka the 505 Gibbs?  But seriously folks, wasn't the 450 Rigby initially developed, due to the 416 Rigby failing on Paul Roberts? http://www.huntnetwork.net/mod...Magnum%20Rimless.pdf ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition” ― Rudyard Kipling | |||
