You are going to do wonders for the price of 1900 vintage Rigby Bissell Rising Third Bite double rifles.

Peter,

A bit of a surprise that the action does not have bushed strikers?

Best for the New Year,
Tim

Tim-

There are quite a few things that action doesn't have yet.
You'll see bushings (and a whole lot more) on the finished rifles.

Either way, it's great to see it coming together for the JR crew!

Happy Holidays Rigby!

Cheers
Tinker

whether we can personally aspire to own one is almost immaterial compared to the fact that the name has been restored to a position of respect and a product like this is forthcoming.

God Bless and best wishes.

Real Rigby and California in the same sentance, that is so funny, even though I know which way you lean.

I couldn't resist that one!

Actually, IMO the "real" Rigby is neither, and that the only "real" one is the origional Rigby from long ago.

With that said, I would love to own one of either "modern" Rigby's double's.

The current iteration of Rigby is owned By the same company that owns Blaser, Mauser and Sauer. I saw some of their magazine rifles at the SCI show....quite nice. If nothing else, it will bring down the price point of the Mauser 98 Magnum action due to its being used both for Mauser and Rigby.

I am acquintances with the action maker Rigby is using to produce the actions. I know he has begun working on the first rising bite action, not sure if it has been completed as I havent seen pics in a while. I can say one thing, the machinist an ex-purdey machine shop foreman does exceptional work. I know it will yield a top notch rifle.

A couple of weeks ago I was fortunate to get the chance to hold and look at the Rigby double that the rifles above were modeled from. Damn beautiful rifle!

Just remember that anything said by PeterDk is a lie. He is a fraud and a cheat. Hopefully in jail by now.

While in Mozambique a fellow hunter had a Cali Rigby in 500. It was quite nice and he took a dandy buffalo with it.

PM Chris for all the gory details.This has been going on for a while.Quite a heated thread here 2-3 yrs ago.

He stole over $30,000.00 worth of deposits from 10 members here on AR.

He was charged with fraud on 12/27/13

Want more info just PM me.

It has always puzzled me a little when a burgler walks into someones home to steal. That must be the biggest risk in the world..not knowing What kind of people they might face. The same parralle can be drawn here of someone who commits fraud. They don´t know who they are cheating. Some day the cheater might meet someone they have cheated.
Not good wisdom in life to cheat, lie or fool to anyone.

Rusty,

That's a friend of mine's rifle. It's pretty impressive. He has ordered the first rising bite in .500 and another friend has ordered a .416 to be made a look alike to his original pre war .416 Rigby. They should be nice.

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.

I will send it to you and the other victims as soon as its ready. Expect it at the end of this month.

Hopefully we get some justice.

I can't see the pictures.

I've been dying to see a wood and steel version of this project since seeing the solid model in previous posts.

Is there a way that someone can post the photos so that I can see them..........please !!

Searcy websitedon't offer a rendition of the Bissell Rising Bite action anymore,
Theres no longer anything on his website showing or referring to it.
Searcys version was never quite the precise copy of an orig. BRB action anyway.
