Constructed around Rigby's legendary Double Square Bridge Magnum Mauser action, the Big Game features a 24.5-inch barrel engraved with "J. Rigby & Co. London England" in traditional Old English script.

Traditional hand-cut checkering ensures a secure hold in all weather conditions, while the hand-rubbed oil finish highlights the natural beauty of the wood. Completing the rifle is a leather-covered recoil pad, offering both period-correct styling and practical recoil management.
