POTD: Rigby Falling Block Limited Edition Rifle
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:
Introducing the Rigby Falling Block limited edition rifle, No. 1 of 10. Chambered in .416 Rigby No. 2, it showcases large carved scroll, crafted with precision. The naming, intricately carved on a stippled background, is custom-designed making it truly unique. The exhibition grade Turkish walnut stock exudes elegance and class. And don’t miss the rifle’s grip cap featuring a Melissa Rigby blue enamelled disc, proudly displaying its series number.

I would like totally skip the exquisite scroll work if I could afford a rifle with exhibition grade Turkish or French walnut. I am in total awe of the glass like finish these artisans produce.
A remarkably interesting rifle.What is the price?
