Re: Riffe or Rob Allen?

Greek Diver,
I hope your joking about how many fish you want to kill,2000 lbs is too many fish for one guy to kill it will look bad for our sport Please limit your catch don't try to catch your limit.
Trumph I was not trying to sell you a wong, although I have heard they are a good gun. If your on a tight budget you should look at making your own Riffe style gun you can buy the trigger mech,shaft and rubbers from Riffe and maybe the Butt if you want the easy way to fit a butt then make nearly everything else your self you can use Beech or Tasmanian Oak to make the timber barrel or stock it doesn't need to be laminated to work if you can find good strait grain timber. This should cost about half the cost of a new Riffe and you will learn the skills and techniques as you go if your already handy with wood and metal. there is a good article on making guns on this site- however some of the tolerances supplied are much tighter than needed for a good pratical gun. I have made a couple of guns my self and they work quite well. Try looking at the home made guns section here for more ideas.
Peter
