Fieldsports Magazine

1 June 2025

This issue of Fieldsports Journal is guest edited by Marc Newton, Managing Director of historic gunmaker John Rigby & Co, a company that is now celebrating its 250th anniversary year. Marc has overseen the impressive resurrection of Rigby for the past 12 years, and this issue celebrates his personal passions for heritage, gunmaking and conservation. His own connection to British fieldsports runs deep, coming from a family of gamekeepers and growing up with a father who remains a passionate countryman, stalker and fly fisherman. This issue is perhaps one of our most international yet, with hunting stories that include: big game in Africa; game bird shooting with a difference in USA; dramatic partridge shooting in Spain; mouflon hunting in Croatia; deer stalking in England; and fly-fishing on the Tweed. These stories showcase some of the greatest adventures any hunter can wish for, and we hope they inspire you to live your hunting life to the full. With all the usual columns, recipes, latest products and more, don’t miss out on this historic issue from one of London’s most beloved gunmakers.
