The John Rigby & Co Sporter in 243 Winchester is built for the British roe-deer stalking market where a low-recoil, flat-shooting cartridge is ideal. Rigby's barrel-making capability extracts maximum accuracy from the 243 Win, and the traditional English stock and cheek configuration suit the walking hunter who fires from a sticks rest or prone at ranges under 200 yards. Type: Rifle Action: Bolt-Action Caliber: 243 Winchester Capacity: 5 Year introduced: 1955, United Kingdom Weight: 104 oz Overall length: 42.5" Status: Active Intended use: Hunting / Stalking
