.242 Vickers Double Rifle
30/11/23 03:34 AM

A "Vickers Limited" Double Rifle in .242 Express (.242 Manton, .242 Vickers)

As far as my searches have taken me, Vickers never even advertised double rifles in their catalogs or elsewhere. Their sporting rifles and shotguns were also but a very small part of their business.
Rarity? There seem to be very few known .242 Vickers rifles (all M98 Mauser) to begin with, and this is the only Vickers marked double rifle, much less in .242, that I have heard of.

This one is just now finally arriving thru import and I should have in my hands within the next couple weeks.
As can be seen, it looks to be a Webley long bar action, very nicely engraved. No other details as of yet. Almost certainly made and finished for Vickers by Webley.
Better and more extensive photos in due course.

I do have a Cogswell & Harrison marked M98 Bolt rifle in .242 Vickers so I hope to not have too much difficulty in getting this rifle shooting.
