John Rigby & Co 250th Anniversary Big Game 416 Rigby 24" Double Square Bridge
Wood Grade 7
Ivory Front Sight
250th Editions Floor Plate
Spare Front Sight in Grip Cap
Gold Inlay Serial Numbers
London gunmaker John Rigby & Co. proudly announces the release of their highly anticipated 250th anniversary edition rifles, commemorating the company’s quarter-millennium legacy in 2025. This exclusive collection is limited to only 250 rifles, offering collectors and hunting enthusiasts a rare opportunity to own a piece of Rigby history.
The Rigby 250th anniversary edition is available in two iconic models: the Big Game rifle and the Highland Stalker. Customers can choose their preferred model, with the option to select their edition number of 250, or even acquire cased pairs with sequential edition numbers, subject to availability.
The Big Game rifle features a Mauser M98 Magnum action, chambered in the legendary .416 Rigby calibre. The 24-inch barrel has a standard front foresight with removable front sight protector hood. The rear sights feature a standard fixed sight regulated at 65 yards and two folding leaf sights regulated at 150 and 250 yards, with the option to upgrade to gold-inlaid sights. The stock is crafted from grade seven deluxe walnut, measuring 14 ½-inches in length and features a traditional pistol grip shape, with grip cap, an inlaid silver oval and a ¾-inch traditional rubber recoil pad. The double square bridge design includes a single trigger and three-position wing safety.
The Highland Stalker features a Mauser M98 Standard action and is chambered in the renowned .275 Rigby calibre. This model features a 22-inch barrel, the sights include a standard front foresight with removable front sight protector hood, and rear sights regulated at 65, 150 and 250 yards, also with the option to upgrade to gold-inlaid sights. The stock has a traditional rounded grip shape made from grade seven deluxe walnut with a silver oval and includes hand-finished chequering for enhanced grip comfort. It measures 14 ½-inches in length, which includes a ¾-inch traditional rubber recoil pad.
Both models are marked with the 2025 London proof marks, with the rifle’s serial number inlaid in gold on the trigger guard. They feature custom engravings that celebrate Rigby’s rich legacy, including a specially designed floorplate that denotes its limited series number out of 250, the lettering ‘th’ engraved next to the 250-yard rear sight marker and a three-panelled chequered bolt handle engraved with the Rigby 250th anniversary seal logo.
Each rifle comes housed in a durable Rigby expedition case, designed for travel. Clients have the option to upgrade to a lightweight tan canvas case with leather corners, available for both single or pairs of rifles.
A century and more ago, Mauser made barreled bolt-actions for us and shipped them to London, where they were assembled, finished and proofed by Rigby craftsmen. Today, in an echo of halcyon days before the Great War, we have resumed this arrangement with Mauser for our new range of Big Game rifles, making aspirational but affordable rifles for use around the world.
In its plant in Isny, Mauser is again building its much-copied but never bettered original Magnum bolt action, which it originally created in 1899 specifically for John Rigby. Today, just as was done a century ago, barrelled actions are supplied by Mauser, then assembled into superb hand-finished rifles by master craftsmen at the Rigby workshop in London. Like the originals, these rifles carry London proof marks. Many aspects of the original rifle, including the much admired and copied extractor and the three-position flag safety, have been retained.
These outstanding rifles have classic Rigby design features, plus a robust, ergonomic stock shape with a higher comb for better fit and absorption of recoil. They also feature plasma nitriding on all exposed metal surfaces for a tough but attractive anti-glare and rust-resistant finish. The Rigby express sights have a single fixed V and two folding leaves (sighted for 65, 150 and 250 yards) dovetailed into the quarter-rib. With original pattern engraving, case-hardened recoil bars and a heat-blued extractor, these rifles represent exceptional value and are a benchmark in modern sporting firearms manufacturing.
