The Highland Stalker

- What could be a more fitting tribute to John Rigby & Co.’s recently unveiled Highland Stalker rifle, than an event celebrating its launch in the heart of the Highlands - the holy grail for British hunting?
Rigby invited top international dealers and sporting journalists to join them in celebrating this iconic rifle at the historic Blair Atholl Estate in Perthshire. Following a tour of the Rigby showroom in London, guests made their way to Euston Station where they boarded the Highland Sleeper train, echoing the Victorian era. After a nip of Rigby whisky and a tale or two from “John Macnab”, guests awoke to the sound of bagpipes as the train rolled into the station.
Ready to transport the weary passengers to their shooting lodges, a fleet of Rigby-branded Land Rovers were ready waiting. After a quick freshen-up, it wasn’t long before the stalking party headed for the hills accompanied by Highland Stalker, garron and ghillie.
Watch the video to hear how everyone faired, learn about their experiences and immerse yourself in the hunt.
Hailed as a traditional deerstalking rifle, the new Highland Stalker is inspired by the same smaller calibre rifles Rigby produced at the turn of the 20th century that were used by iconic British adventurers such as Karamojo Bell and Jim Corbett. Rigby regards the Scottish Highlands as the birthplace of stalking and the title befitting the rifle.
Makes me wish I was rich.
good old brits and their excellent traditional way of life.
very likeable.
appreciations from NAIROBI KENYA
A first class film, focussing on a first class rifle made by a first class company - what more could anyone ask for?
The .275 HV (7x57mm) Rigby will always be the classical cartridge for The Hill - Tradition and just as it should be.
Over 30 years of the Hill, the undoubted relief at a clean shot and taken in during those moments before the gralloch and before the pony arrives - - and never to tire of it.
Relief at a clean shot ...you can say that again especially with a rope attached to that barrel, who knows where the shot goes every time!
@@Guide504 Barrel mounted slings will not effect the hunting accuracy out to a comfortable 300+m shot. These are not target rifles
@@adamchristo3082 when the Sling is wrapped for stability it will, I have done it in experimentation to prove this point emphatically to others in the trade who hold your current view. If it were not a matter of welfare I would not care a jot, but it is incumbent upon all who take game to make every effort to do so cleanly every time. This is one risk element that can be excluded from the process before the rifle even exits the factory.
"To be in the moment..."
Indeed, the best moments we can hope for are those that give us cause appreciate them before they disappear into memories.
i myself own a rigby 3not3 rifle not sure about the model but it belongs to my great grand father
The Scottish highlands are so beautiful.
Man I wish I knew how to import one to the US. I'd want one in either 275 rigby or 9.3x62
If only I could afford one, beautiful rifles.
Using real bagpipes fit the product better than the synthetic ones in the old video. Great job
A stalk in the Highlands is bucket list for me.
I've been 3 times, taken my 2 daughters, You can go the same way as in the film for about what you'd pay for a South Texas deer hunt. It is magnificent Country full of friendly people. Take the wife by all means! and yes, I do shoot the Rigby, mine has accounted for 7 stag
that rifle in 9.3x62 needs to make its way to the remote north of Australia
Great rifle, great shot, love the whole production. A moment to look at the sky, Awesome and humbling.
Brilliant Rifle in a Beautiful Place!!!
Great guns Probably a lot better quality than the modern breed of city type hunting party ALL THE GEAR BUT NO IDEA CREW Guns look great
Another great production from the Pace brothers,enjoyed the film immensely, really atmospheric.
Awesome! It's good to see true craftsmanship. Thank you.
A highland stalking hunt like that would be a dream come true for me.
..great video.. love the tradition.. fine rifle and gear...
Greetings from Australia...nice vid and all but I have to ask...in SO many stalking vids I see one rifle shared amongst a group of people...why? Here in Oz there would be as much chance of sharing your rifle as sharing your wife / husband / girlfriend / boyfriend! Surely these people are not so clumsy / stupid that they can't be trusted to bring along and use their own firearm? I know that this showcases the release of a new rifle but all these stalking vids are the same...one bloke carrying the rifle and handing over to the shooter when the time comes to let a round go. Not sure what anyone else thinks but to me it's a bit insulting really.
Channel is great as well as the video, but why so less subscribers? I think not many people are interested in firearms. Hope the subscribers to be 1 million soon
These (rigby rifles) are very cost prohibitive rifles for all of gun owners. that is why.
Nice guns but it's like reading magazine articles about Sports Cars I'll never be able to afford.
I'm too old to be wasting the time I have left.
Good on you Diggory
Thank you Rigby! Ethics.
THIS is a promotional film. Bravo.
Do not knock it. I think it’s great, driving to Scotland from London sucks. We all need to learn to chill instead of enduring the British motorway nightmare. Learn to Hill!
I asked Rigby to make me one in 303 British and they refused
I love this lifestyle and rifle and hunting
Perfect.
Great scenes for a grand rifle!
Pretty nice location, too 😉
Three years of research and development to come up with a Mauser action in a wood stock? Haha I'm just teasing. It's a beautiful rifle and of fine quality.
I would love to own a Rigby. Not for the social status or as a trophy possession but because it will be made by a fellow craftsman. I am sure that the guy’s on the shop floor who actually make my gun will be payed the same piss poor wages I always earned while their boss swans around on the moors with his wealthy connected friends.
But no matter. My grandfather owned to Purdey’s for the same reason and he was a damn sight better shot than the monkeys who trot around in Range Rovers.
Those Purdey shotguns were his one indulgence and he made his own magnificent mahogany cabinet to house them.
Having made a full set of Chippendale walnut dining chairs for a customer on one occasion I took the infernal liberty of making a few for myself too. Eyebrows were raised but Fuck ‘em, why should the inbreds get all the high Q stuff to themselves ?
No man appreciates high quality more than the guys who actually make it. We may be few in number and treated like fools but our signature lasts longer than the name they engrave on the Barrel. Cheers.
@edwin mason I think they still exist but are owned by L&O holding. They operate from London. L&O own's Mauser also so that makes sense as Rigby uses Mauser actions. What I don't get is why some hunters are attracted by those guns. Basically it's an outdated Mauser action with a bit of a fancy stock isn't it? There was so much produced with much smoother actions for way more reasonable pricing in the past.
@@thomsenpelzer6625 If you have to wonder why some are attracted by rifles such as the Rigby then trying to explain it would be akin to teaching a pig to sing
"appreciate them before they disappear into memories"............ is well said as I have seen stalking videos now in the highlands with 4 wheelers /RV and not horses....very sad to me at my age.
Beautiful video. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. Very moving.
Outstanding video. Perfectly done all around
good craftsmanship but id honestly just get a older rifle and get a walnut stock made for it, och build one myself
crawling around on the ground scaring up a $10,000 rifle.....I don't think so !!
I have a cut down 1908 Brazilian for that.
Damp! I get an overwhelming feeling of damp form any Scottish vista.
Very civilized hunting. Wot!
Would have been more authentic with open sights, and quite adequate.
Whatever. I myself hunt only with open sights, but not everyone knows how. This is a lovely film
Lovely rifle, lovely experience.
I wish I had the cash to buy one.
Thanks for the tip
Simplemente, hermoso
Well put together film, but I think the stalker hits the haunch of the hind in front of the stag!
Two for one. Basically an Eagle shot
Price?
According to their web site - £6,995 + VAT.
it depends on how you embelish it when you go to rigby site and build one..not cheap no matter how you slice it
Wowowwowowo
Sub moa?
Get a Winchester M 70 super grade or Sako Classic 85 and be just as happy.
Poo poos modern contrivances, has a modern scope mounted to the rifle. But, I saw that it had leather lens covers so that makes it legit.
$16,000 for a rifel to buy ur son in his 21 birthday,, I'll pass beautiful gun but what are u paying for ,a brand ,
Who taught you English and punctuation?
u have killed the male dear. u have done great loss to nature and wildlife. so sad.
You should stick to the Disney channel.
Moron or comedian.?..difficult to tell so in the interest of levity I am chuckling...
@@slappy8941 nice one slappy ...now in Icelandic an Mandarin!
Nice film RIDICULOUS PREMIS!
This is disappointing video. And I'm sure this right is super adorable.
3 years in development and they still put the sling mount on the barrel.
GO AWAY, STUPID AMOUNTS OF MONEY FOR A SLACK MAUSER 98 CLONE. Let it go leave it back when it was modern and move on.
utter rubbish! barrel mounted the sturdiest. perhaps a modern swivel system though.
The modern plastic rubbish pales in comparison to the old style Classic kit
You have no clue, taste, class, tradition, or concept of this class. Go back to the Remchester site.
Your sense of style and tradition is as good as your English.
I used to make these for the posh deluded fools who bought them. They were the cutting edge tool of their time, but time has moved on, along with understanding of barrel harmonics and engineering.
@@slappy8941 gooder in point of fact but my Icelandic and mandarin is probably better than yours and just as irrelevant.
Great promo Rigby, excellent rifles. Tradition’s are great, not many people can enjoy these due to cost. As an American who has hunted big and small game all over the US You go to hunt, to hunt it what you put into it, the people who you encounter, and get out of it to make it better and memorable.
