£350

A striking collector’s piece, this framed .700 Nitro Express cartridge pays tribute to one of the most formidable calibres ever developed. Featuring a 3½” case and 1000 grain bullet, it represents the pinnacle of big game cartridge design and the power required for hunting the world’s largest and most dangerous game. With only two pieces available, it is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of true significance.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as JOHN RIGBY & CO. (GUNMAKERS) LTD, number 08493364. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
