A new dawn, new possibilities and another Photo Of The Day to enjoy. In case you didn’t know, the “falling-block action” is a type of firearm action mechanism used in rifles and shotguns. It is known for its simplicity, strength, and reliability. This action is primarily associated with single-shot firearms. Here we can see it in Rigby Falling Block limited edition rifle. It’s chambered in a relatively new caliber, .416 Rigby No. 2.

Here’s how John Rigby & Co. describes this limited-run rifle:
