    The Clash of the Titans: Heym Martini Express VS Rigby Big Game

    Yes. I've got a modern day Lancaster. We put it next to my friends Rigby Big Game last year in the Northern Territory. I know I was glad to be carrying mine. Very different propositions in terms of finesse, balance and handling.
