A day in the life of Buzz Charlton

[RIGBY]

Loosely based on a true story…or stories…

An extraordinary PH, whom many of you know (either by reputation or personally) recently had the misfortune of cracking the neck on his double rifle while hunting elephant.

Fortunately, his breakfast was saved that morning!

However, the left mate of his favorite pair of hunting footwear was impounded by the bush - perhaps by the grieving matriarch of the herd as compensation toward the loss of her favorite tembo kuime?

So there was an urgent need to expedite the new Rigby Shikari rifle he had on order.

A .500 Nitro Express(ed) in Roman numeral.

The double is now almost complete, together with some critical upgrades specific to the incomparable Mr. Buzz Charlton.

Correspondingly, his preferred footwear has also been upgraded so that it is finally fit for purpose.

We are here for you Buzz!

Wow what a rifle, truly stunning and absolutely fit for purpose!! The Croc on the brass inlay is genius
Buzz must be so excited to get it! I confess to being less enthralled by the new boots

The Roman numeral “V” in the fore-end is actually original inlay in the oak that was used from the HMS Victory to make this gun. This was one of the Victory Edition guns that were made in commemoration of Rigby’s 250th Anniversary!

It hopefully goes without saying that the “facts” in that story were given the Hollywood treatment.

NICE looking rifle. Love the Croc on the inlay. The history of the oak V is also special. I am sure he will get years of use out of that fine double.
