Apologies for a mild thread disruption.
Were the Parker Hales that bad in function? I’ve seen that complaint on multiple threads dealing with these “Finished by Rigby” rifles.
I myself have not owned any but I know of number of people who shoot PH rifles. They seem to function fine and actually shoot extremely well. Where they lack heavily is the horrifically varnished and poorly fit stocks.
I’ve never seen a “finished by Rigby” in person. Wouldn’t that address the wood and fit issue?
I’m just curious as I’ve seen this stated a lot . No offense intended. And not a .300 win mag fan so no interest in buying that one
It’s a $400 Parker Hale rifle clothed in a $10,000 name. That’s the primary issue. Engraving the word Rigby on it is not sufficient to appreciate the gun.
There’s an old adage, by the gun, not the maker. It definitely applies as a cautionary warning to this rifle.
