I was just looking over the pictures in my last post more close up and couldn’t find the “TH” on the sight that you are referring to? Any chance you could give some more detail on where you see it?

In the first post there is a picture where it says "Lettering 'TH' engraved next to the 250-yard rear sight marker".

brilliant!

Acquired a Rigby Highland Stalker in .275 about a decade ago - have hunted with it extensively in Africa & Europe. A wonderful rifle & one I love to carry. Based on todays prices with all the upgrades I included (wood, blueing etc) I got mine cheap in the day!

I do not need another HS but I am toying with the idea of a Big Game PH in .404 Jeffrey........

Happy days !

Yes he does! Random numbers so not really ordered as sets but for an individual rifle he has a great selection.

When I saw the set at SCI in Nashville, I didn't even realize you could buy just one;) Obviously a Big Game in 416 Rigby and a Highland Stalker in 275 Rigby is THE set:)

Of course they only come in sets. Like shoes.

I think your set should have sequential numbers and be known as “hers and his”

The only question is should it be a set each or a shared safari set?

Well of course ours are a set. A shared Safari set. They are fit good for @Just Gina and i can shoot them well also. Bolt guns are pretty easy for us to share;) 275 Rigby and 416 Rigby... sequential numbers that make up both our birthdays.

But you can buy individual rifles.

Apparently not as big a hit a expected if they are not sold out yet?

And BTW, I cannot recommend @GENTZ SPORTING ARMS highly enough! Jason is an outstanding dealer and will not quit until you are satisfied:)

Classic chamberings for classic rifles.
Hoping to see these in a hunt report sometime.

They are better than ever. Probably just my aged eyes, but my new Highland Stalker in .308 that I purchased at DSC is a stunning piece. Mentioning it as a comparison to my other Rigbys which are beautiful, but either I got very lucky with this new rifle’s furniture, or Rigby upped their game a bit with the stocks of the same grade as the past. Whatever the case, they are really wonderful “bits of kit”. As always, their entire staff was friendly and engaging here in Nashville. If anyone’s on the fence, you owe it to yourself to consider getting one. And who knows, maybe the (U.S.) tariffs will come back down, which will help.

Thank you so much! It was a genuine pleasure interacting with so many enthusiastic customers at the Rigby tent!
 
Stopped by and looked at the 250th anniversary rifles and the new release that was unveiled at SCI.

Exceptional !!! Fit and finish was spot on and the upgraded wood is something that caught me eye as soon as I turned up the row.

@mdwest you might want to really take a look.
 
Did Rigby bring upgraded wood for the show models.

I bought a shotgun that was one of 3 Shot Show floor models in that model. They had upgraded wood for the Shot Show. Which of course brought a premium price. I think I traded the dealer an Israeli Uzi for it.

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is 239 565-8988. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
