Quick point and no offense meant to Stan. It should be no surprise when a rusty Parker, or Stevens 311,for that matter, that fits its shooter in most aspects whupsup on a Purdey that does not really suit its shooter. The custom aspect of bespoke guns does not convey to successor/following owners. Pre-owned/non-custom guns must be carefully selected for all fits or modified to fit if you want a lifelong keeper.

I have undying respect and admiration for all the good things found in Purdey guns. However, it is a mistake to buy the name and/or aesthetics of a high dollar gun without due consideration to stock , handling, and feel fit.
