John Rigby is back in London and unveiled its new renovated premises last week, in Pensbury Place, Vauxhall.
The made-over Rigby joined forces with Mauser and Blaser to create its latest line of rifles, including the Big Game rifle.
Marc Newton, managing director of John Rigby, commented: “I think for Rigby’s – the oldest British and Irish gunmaking firm and the third oldest in the world – what’s rather exciting about this place is that I would describe it as a cathedral. Rigby is not just a rifle, it’s a religion. People are fanatical about the brand…”
“I think we owe it to the brand, something that is so key to British history, …to have the company back where it belongs.”
