I was shit stirring as I know how much you love the 6.5 CR cartridge. LOL

Personally I think the stock is one of the most hideous I have seen in a long time. It actually looks like the product of someone making a stock at home for the first time and proudly showing their wife.

Plus no open sights on a rifle of that cost!!! Sure you don't use them for long range shooting but not everything is shot at long range and open sights just make a classic rifle look complete, even if you never use them. Sort of like having a Taylor made suit but with no collar. The collar doesn't really do anything but it certainly makes it look nicer.

Then they cover all the furniture with engraving ??? So is it a supposed to be a classic gun or a long range gun ? It certainly is doing a poor job of any of it in my opinion.

Yes the butt slopes backwards, from memory we saw that on the weird 416 Rigby they showed a while ago.

Purdey have never been famous for bolt action rifles and you can see why. Even last century they were on of the last big names to make bolt-action rifles and that was possibly only because they felt they had to. At least they didn't try and make any strange propitiatory cartridges for them.

Whoever is designing their current stocks obviously hasn't studied classic bolt-action stocks form the likes of H&H, Rigby, Jefferies or Westley Richards. Maybe they should do the same as Heym did who also had no idea and hired a talented stock maker to design it for them (In the case of Heym it was Ralf Martini for the Heym Express Rifle).

Matt.
