Cap Off a Great Adventure With Rigby

London gunmaker John Rigby & Co. is inviting customers to exchange their weathered and worn, old Rigby baseball caps for a brand new one free of charge. Celebrating the spirit of adventure, this initiative not only breathes new life into these field essentials, but creates a unique platform for hunters to share their stories of adventure.

 

In line with the company’s ethos of creating products ‘made to be used’ and catering to those ‘in pursuit of adventure’, customers are invited to send in their used Rigby baseball caps along with a brief narrative, detailing the cap’s adventures in the field, explaining how they got to look so tatty. Whether it’s a tale of stalking stags in the Highlands, traversing African savannahs in pursuit of big game, or sharing camaraderie with fellow hunters, every story will add to Rigby’s rich legacy.

The worn caps, the names of the hunters who wore them, and their accompanying stories will be proudly displayed in the new Rigby showroom, showcasing the shared experiences and memories of the Rigby community.

To participate, customers are required to send their old cap, along with their full name, address, contact number, email address, and preferred color choice for the new cap – hunting green, Rigby blue, or khaki – to the following address:

Introducing the New Sauer 505 Bolt-Action Rifle

The new Sauer 505 from J.P. Sauer and Sohn has a newly designed steel chassis, silky-smooth bolt cycling, and interchangeable, cold-hammer-forged precision barrels that allow for quick and easy caliber changes. Hunters can select between four pre-set trigger weights from 0.77 lbs. to up to 2.75 lbs.

 

The manual cocking system is safe, lightweight, quiet, and easy on the thumb. Once ready to shoot, simply apply slight pressure with your thumb to cock the rifle. Uncocking and unloading in the uncocked position is just as easy.

 

Sauer has adopted the Blaser saddle mount technology for optics mounting. This quick-detach mount is designed to ensure the unit can be taken off the Sauer 505 and put back on while maintaining the precise point of aim without having to re-zero the scope.

 

Available in four stock options – walnut (from wood grades 2 to 10), synthetic, synthetic thumbhole, or carbon fiber. The flush mounted detachable magazine features an integrated MagLock safety which prevents unwanted triggering of the magazine button. Rifle weights range from around 6 lbs. with the ultralight carbon fiber stock to heavier weight field options with magnum barrels.

 

Available in Summer 2024 in multiple calibers. For more information, visit: Sauer 505.
