The .275 Rigby remains a fantastic choice for the big-game hunter, and has done it all over the course of its 130-year history.

The cartridge’s sheer size, steep shoulder and Rigby name all add up to a century-plus-old classic that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

The .350 Rigby Magnum is vastly overlooked even among rifle cranks but was at one time as popular as the .375 H&H Magnum. Released in 1908, it is an entirely original design, and was the first to feature the sharp 45-degree shoulder which is the hallmark of the Rigby designs.

London gunmaker John Rigby & Co. has revealed its latest high-end rifle in the form of the Highland Stalker. Rigby spared no expense in its reveal, unveiling the rifle to the sound of bagpipes in front of crowd toasting with Rigby whiskey at the IWA Outdoor Classics show in Germany.

The Rigby and Remington variants of the .416 bore diameter are undoubtedly the top dogs, but which of the two has the ultimate advantage?

One hundred four years after it was designed, the venerable .416 Bore made famous on the game fields of Africa is again being made in London on a genuine Mauser Magnum action.

While both cartridges have a rather impeccable reputation, which makes a better choice for the dangerous game hunter? Contributor Philip Massaro takes a closer look at what makes each cartridge tick.

Rigby is back. For the first time since prior to WWI, customers can order a genuine Mauser Model 98 barreled action.

If there were ever a classic rifle design—one that would go on to spawn innumerable copies—it is the Mauser 98. While the vast majority of American hunters rely upon the multitude of popular American bolt-action rifles, they owe a huge debt of gratitude to Paul Mauser’s turnbolt design.
