Description
Hailed as a traditional deerstalking rifle, the new Highland Stalker is inspired by the smaller calibre rifles Rigby produced at the turn of the 20th century. These rifles were famously used by iconic British adventurers such as Karamojo Bell and Jim Corbett. Rigby regards the Scottish Highlands as the birthplace of stalking, making the title befitting for this rifle.
Known for large calibre hunting rifles, Rigby introduced this new small calibre edition after considerable thought. Following the phenomenal response to the commemorative Corbett rifle, Rigby realized there was a demand for vintage-looking rifles. Thus, the Highland Stalker was modeled on the original .275 Rigby, a ubiquitous rifle of its time.
After three years of research and development, Rigby is extremely proud of the Highland Stalker. Its striking slim lines and lightweight frame make it ideal for the hill. Rigby unveiled this latest creation to the sound of traditional Scottish bagpipes, with a crowd toasting its arrival with a dram of Rigby whisky at IWA OutdoorClassics in March 2017 in Germany.
