470Rigby , make no mistake, I'm not downing either of the Britt rifles, as to quality, or fit and finish. It is simply that I do not, personally consider the Rigby to be of the same quality, over all, as the Purdey. That is simply a personal opinion.

The fact is neither of them are my favorites, where double rifles are concerened! I like Westley Richards better than either of them.

To me quality is not the "SHINE", or the premium price ones pays for a NAME, but how it acts on the target, and I don't find either Rigby, or Purdey, to be any better than any well made double rifle, regardless of make or country of origin, and certainly not enough better to justify the price difference. When the rubber meets the road, how well they kill dangerous game is what matters to me! After all, the only real reason for a double rifle is for hunting!

Suffice to say I'm not into the SNOBB appeal, that some apply to the UK names only! Thats' good for me, because I can own more useing doubles that way! All others may do as it pleases them!
