Working as a hunting guide means my rifles get transported alot and they do tend to get a fairly hard life.
My main back up rifle lives in a soft gunbag in the open hunting vehicle and it gets bounced around for months at a time.
I always need to have a backup firearm in the vehicle so whichever gun is used I know it will come home with less blue and more scratches and marks.
Hunting clients are much more able to nurse their rifles as they can hang on to them while out hunting but as I'm doing all the driving my rifles end up spending a lot of time under the rear seat.
Even a very basic double costs a hell of a lot more than a basic bolt gun so it is always a bit of a worry when a double is subjected to such a hard life.
I don't have any problem with using a double rifle enough that it starts to wear out but I don't really like knocking them about unnecessarily.

Also many doubles are a real pain to strip down if they get rained on heavily and need to be dried out and oiled.
During guided hunting trips I am flat out all the time and it is very hard to spend much time servicing rifles.
A bolt rifle is usually much easier and less time consuming to strip, clean and oil than a double.
Anyway I have found a way of overcoming these issues and am looking forward to giving total commitment to my doubles!
