The Rigby Rising Bite action has long been renowned for its strength and excellence in design, having been used in both shotguns and their exceptional double rifles. This shotgun is made even more interesting by the fact that it is not only of the rising bite design, but also made with the so called “Snap Action” underlever, which both unlocks the breech and resets the hammer’s with the same movement to save effort on opening the barrels. Overall condition is exceptional for its age, without any signs of major wear to be found anywhere. Of note, the Damascus barrels were factory Nitro proofed upon their creation and re proofed at a later date upon their lengthening to 2 ¾ inches, so this shotgun will continue to be useful in the field today.
