Cogswell and Harrison Doubles where do they stack in the mix of rifles produced during the 20/30's .. What would be some other rifles with the same craftsmanship of that era..

C & H put up some very high-grade guns during that period, but they also catered for the keeper/game-warden class of customer as well, particularly with bolt-guns. You will need to judge a Coggie by other attributes, rather than name alone.

The plainest English double that I have personally seen or shot was a C&H (see photo), but they also made or sold some nicer doubles as well. As Marrakai says, you can't catagorize all Coggies the same.
People tend to put Rhoddas in the same catagory, but I have a plain grade Rhodda, and I prefer it to the C&H. Other people may disagree  .

Cogswell's have always been a tough sell and are not well thought of. There are a lot better ways to go than a C&H.
