In your opinion what makes a Rigby a "Rigby"?

Hank, yes that's in a "normal" situation, but it's happened sometimes when you tracking wounded game and you in more open plains need to take a shot at 200 m... that's when a detachable scope is handy to have.... But we are different and have different views, and I'm a terrible with open sights on longer distance.. :)

Did you test shot it yet ?

G
I did test shoot it today, and the target is above a few messages.

Im terrible with open sights as well - I think its a function of older eyes - I shot a bongo in Cameroon with open sights, but the bullet went through a tree on its way there - a tree I didn't see when I was focused on the target and the end of my rifle. The scope I have is detachable (Recknagel), and I'd love to have it detached all the time, but I'm not vain enough to think I could hunt well that way, or at least not well enough.
 
Sorry didn't see the test shooting... Well done... and there is nothing wrong with your skills regarding open sights :)...
 
Because a Rigby shoot these...
;)

Interesting. I've never seen them before, but I have to say, if they shoot as well as they look, Peregrine has a good product!
