Holland & Holland Model Deluxe .318 WR
28/02/08 11:55 AM

I would appreciate any comments on this rifle, including anyone who can post it for me from the Cabela's website since I don't know how to do that. I first learned of this rifle in the 1979 issue of Gun Digest. Jack Lott owned the rifle and wrote of getting it to regulate in his article "Care and Feeding of the Double Rifle" (pp.187-8). It was ordered by the Maharajah of Saliana and delivered in 1922. A couple of years ago, it showed up on George Caswell's site, at $59,000, and since he couldn't move it, it went to Cabela's in Fort Worth where it has remained for about 2 years. I saw it at the Dallas Safari Club show (twice), and it is an exquisite piece. Before Caswell and Cabela's, it was for sale with Gulf Breeze Firearms in Florida. I'm intrigued with it, and would love to try to buy it, but I have learned the lesson about fools rushing in the hard way. They have $50,000 on it. The guy at Gulf Breeze Firearms told me the owner is in it very high and that he will probably die with the gun. Like George, he blames the caliber for the lack of interest. Actually, I have more use for a rifle like this than a heavy, and I already own a couple of those anyway.George told me he thought it was worth about 40K. I've never gone into anything this expensive and am very wary given the difficulty in moving it.Does anyone have comments about the rifle, the price or know anything about it? Thanks!!
