Favorite double rifle action/configuration?
      21/08/06 04:55 AM

All these posts on the Screw grip and the Jones underlever got me thinking.

What is your favorite double rifle action and configuration and why?

In terms of elegance and beauty I have to go with a 1880-1900 back action, hammered, Jones underlever in 450 or 500BPE (or hell a 577!!). There is something classic, and very Victorian about these rifles. They are perhaps what most comes to my mind when I think double rifles. I'm going to own one one day... Though I am aware of the limitations of a hammered underlever, I still love them.

In terms of practicality I enjoy a boxlock, non-ejector in a medium calibre that is well scoped. I know my Chapuis is not the nicest gun, but she has served me well from Alaska, to Virginia, to France, and now to Hawaii.

In regards to action he should devote himself to hunting...
