In my opinion, the Verney Carron Demas is absolutely the most beautiful, best finished, currently produced double rifle in it's price range, and everything I've found regarding it's strength is superb. If I had the means, this is without a doubt the double I would buy. Unfortunately, my double will be closer to the 10k range, if and when I buy one.
