Thanks Vikram for the catalog link, some cool stuff in there. They have a picture of the rising bite but I think the new doubles will be with dolls head and not rising bite,

Hi Vikram,

THE WAY FORWARD
As passionate hunters and Rigby aficionados, Patricia and I feel a responsibility to ensure that the reputation of this venerable company is restored to its original place in the history of British gun-making.
A hunter’s rifle or shotgun is not only a tool of their trade, but also an expression of their personal taste. At Rigby, we strive to ensure that the combination of precision engineering, traditional British craftsmanship and style, and unquestionable reliability, provide the client with everything they would expect of a hunting weapon.
Previous Rigby gun-makers have set high standards - we fully intend to honour those standards and, dare we say it, improve on them by bringing our premier range of magazine rifles into the 21st century. The renewed collaboration with Mauser enables us to benefit from their state of the art factory and research and development department. Combined with the traditional skills of our craftsmen in the UK, these dovetail perfectly, enabling us to produce an updated version of Rigby’s consummately designed magazine rifle of the early 1900s.
We look forward to welcoming you at our showroom and workshops, or meeting you around the world.
> IMHO it reflects 'Rigby's' honesty, integrity & commitment in what they believe - Supreme quality & Unparalleled performance!

Herb, they are in the process of coming up with the designs for the rising bite model. They are aiming to produce a working model in 2014.
The prices of their models is very realistic and extremely competitive, when compared to other big names in London and elsewhere, for what they are offer. Check them out.
Best-
Vikram
