Pump action rifles – they’re often given a dubious eye below the 49th parallel north, but here in the Great White North (obligatory head bang to Rush) shooters are less skeptical. I’m no stranger to pump action rifles, having owned, and of course shot, several myself. When I received the offer to test drive the Troy Pump Action Rifle (PAR) in .308 Win I jumped at the opportunity. The TROY PAR felt like an old friend from the moment I picked it up, albeit a heavier friend since it wasn’t chambered in 5.56mm or 7.62x39mm. If you like pump-, bolt-, and lever-actions, the PAR might just hold a special spot in your life.
