The only reason I can see someone not wanting an H&R Garand is because they already own one or two. Harrington and Richardson had a reputation for building quality firearms and when they got the contract to build Garands they put the same craftsmanship in their rifles. Their receivers and stocks are finished better than Winchester or Springfield cosmetically BUT this is because they were made in peacetime. Winchesters and the majority of Springfields were built during WW2. These Garands were made to function not look nice. They weren't going to spend an extra hour per gun making the stock perfect and taking all the machine marks out of the receivers. Winchester gets the wow factor because they were produced during WW2 and there weren't a lot made as compared to Springfield.
