Hagen style action?
« on: January 19, 2007, 03:33:24 PM »
I was surfing around the other day and stumbled on J. Rigby's website (day dreaming of guns I'll never afford ;). They apparently build a falling-block single shot in a Hagen style action. Never heard of a Hagen style. Can anyone tell me about them? Just curious.
You only take one shot at a time, so don't waste it :cb2:

The Hagn action is pretty well hand made, not produced in quantity. The hagn rifle is perhaps one of the finest falling block rifles.

They are based out of Cranbrook BC. Just down the road from me.

Finer gunsmithing I can't imagine! Old world craftsmanship...The kind you hardly see any more.
They finished a sporterizing job on my Gustav 6.5x55 begun  by an idiot.
I would recommend their work to anyone and the web site covers most questions about them.
Their work takes time but, it is worth the wait.

If you buy one of their rifles you won't have any money left but, you won't have any regrets either!!
Get as close as you can, then get ten yards closer.
