Park RH 93 rifle

[Rapidnick]

I appreciate I am replying on a very old thread but having recently bought a Park RH93 in .177 I thought I'd make it re- surface.
My rifle is also in very nice condition only marred by a bit of 'smudged bluing' on the cocking lever where moisture crept in under the sling swivel mount. Only small and doesn't affect the performance of the gun. The stock on mine is a RH walnut sporter which is useable by me as a lefty but I'd clearly like to find a proper LH stock preferably the walnut thumbhole but walnut sporter would be a result too.
I agree with most of the comments on the original thread starter although a)my trigger is fine and b) my safety catch is quite stiff in use probably because the rifle has seen little use. However I find the cocking effort considerable. I'm not a wally-I can cock a Theoben Eliminator with greater ease than I can the Park. The cocking lever is very short and if the rifle was still in production I would suggest that some form of matching cocking lever extension would be a good idea along the lines of the BSA Scorpion air pistol. As it is we must realise that the rifle has 2 pistons and the Whiscombe -arguably a similar rifle with horizontally opposed pistons- requires 2 strokes of the lever to cock the legal limit models and THREE to cock the FAC model JW80.
The rifle performs very well. It is 'spot on' accurate and is totally inert. Given the ritual involved in cocking and loading it isn't really suitable for field use but as a club gun it is great and can hold its own with even the best precharged rifles.
All in all an interesting -if a bit quirky- addition to my collection of self powered rifles.

Here are my two, a Park 91 bottom and Park 93 Top, both in .177. Both fitted with B&L scopes.


They are hefty. The 91 is a little easier to cock and has the better trigger though I haven't tried tuning the 93. I don't think the safety catch is very necessary, and I like the lever catch more on the 91 too. Walnut is quite a bit heavier than the beech. Both nat drive if I do my bit, using RWS Superdomes..
They are not completely forgiving but getting there. Every bit as good as a tuned short stroke HW77, which is pretty good. Very close to recoilless and it is possible to watch the pellet land. Pretty quiet too with or without the moderator. They aren't PCP perfect but will give one a run for its money. I think they are great.

They make the best "sniping out of the bedroom window" air rifles going

Nice reviews and pretty spot on. I came close to buying one of these when they came out but ended up with an early Daystate. Looking back though and comparing them to current rifles I think they look very good. As people say, a bit quirky but they solved 12 foot pound recolies air rilfe problem and no air tank needed.
Cannot be bad
