Although carrying a name festooned with history, it will come as a surprise to many that the .450 Rigby is actually a relatively new cartridge – launched in 1995, almost 100 years after the company introduced the .450 Nitro Express.
Although arriving many years after his death in 1969, the great John Taylor always insisted that Rigby designed new cartridges with Africa firmly in mind – and this was definitely true of the .450 Rigby.
