From the Vault: Rigby Mauser Rifle
This "From the Vault" video showcases a rare John Rigby & Co. custom Mauser bolt action rifle built in 2002 for the Safari Club International. Chambered in .500 Jeffery, a powerful cartridge designed to fit the Mauser 98 action, this rifle is presented as a gunsmith's dream and a masterpiece of British gunmaking. It's described as a trim, compact rifle capable of taking down African "Big Five" game. The video highlights practical features like a square-bridge receiver with integral scope mounts, a low-ride safety, express sights, and a recoil pad, alongside its exquisite, tastefully understated British ornamentation, including finely figured wood and detailed engraving with gold inlay. The rifle passes muster even with discerning gunsmiths for its craftsmanship.
