In regards to the title post; I prefer both old and new best quality doubles.

Though you have to spend big money these days to match such quality, of those days gone bye..

As far as these two rifles go, there both vintage guns, the H&H is quite lovely, the WR is peculiar in that it appears to be sleeved, but there's no mention of that in the advertisement. The price is whoa!

JPK: It's Paul Roberts http://www.jroberts-gunmakers.co.uk/ who I think your referring to. He's the one that did all that re-chambering years ago..
