Hi folks,

I have always wanted a double rifle and like my always wanted a Ferrari fantasy, I can't afford one. However, every once in a while I'll see a double rifle made on a shotgun frame at a gun show for 1/4 the price of a good English double. I can almost afford one of these. What are the forum members thoughts about these guns and what should I be looking for when I'm examining one. Before someone suggests that I just save for a "real" double rifle, keep in mind I have one child in college and another 2 years away so saving is not possible for the next 6-8 years. An alternative is to sell (gasp) my NWMP Winchester 1876 Carbine (1 of 1100 used by the Mounties in the 19th Cent.) but I'd like to avoid making that choice if I can. Thank you for your help.

John
