CG-63 in .308
« on: July 04, 2007, 04:34:44 PM »
i picked up a good condition CG-63 in a horse swap a while back. a few odd things though
it's a .308 not a 6.5x55, and had a parker hale peep instead of that standard diopter sight. can anyone tell me anything about this, would these be factory mods? does this increase or decrease the value?

Not factory.Probably a shooting club conversion.Should be a nice rifle.

turns out it's a CG63E, made in 7.62x51 for export to the British and Canadian markets, very rare in the US.

Parker-Hale was the importer of these rifles in the 1970's hence the fitment of P-H sights.
