What to Know
Critic Consensus
Just like its rifle counterpart, the Rising Bite shotgun is characterised by the unique Rigby patent Rising Bite action, well-regarded for its unique strength and distinctive style. The patent dates back to 1879 and was the brainchild of Thomas Bissell, a gunmaker who collaborated with John Rigby on several projects and made guns for him in the mid-to-late 1800s.

John Rigby & Co. Rising Bite Description
After a break of more than 80 years, John Rigby & Co. has resumed building the iconic Rising Bite double rifle. So called because of its unique vertical-bolt locking system, the Rigby Rising Bite was and continues to be one of the most famous double rifles ever to have been made. All models are best sidelock ejectors with dipped edge lock plates and incorporate a number of premium features as standard, including: grade 7 Turkish walnut, mirror-bored chopper lump barrels regulated to 100 yards, traditional Rigby pattern full scroll engraving, carved folding leaves on fences, gold inlaid details, colour case hardening and London Best oil finish and barrel black. Each one of the new Rising Bites will have taken up to three years to produce, making them a once-in-a-lifetime purchase for collectors and connoisseurs. The project to revive the Rising Bite has been personally overseen by Rigbys Managing Director Marc Newton and head of production, Ed Workman, with valuable input from historian Steve Helsley and collector Davis Peterson.Technical Data
