Hey doublefolks .

If I were to make a US$70K investment, and I wanted to get a nice doublerifle, what would be best over the years. Ofcouse we are talking about a british vintage DR. Should I go for a) One good gun of best name/best quality or B) two good doubles of "lesser known" in B-quality?? The gun/guns I would be looking for, is +.450cal Nitro express
Best name for me is H&H, WR, Purdey, Rigby....I guess that leaves everything else to "lesserknown"

In investment terms Purdey has no equal. However, $70,000.00 will not get you in the door for a investment grade Purdey.

If it were me and my budget was a bit more say $80,000.00 I would order a new Westley Richards in 470 with all the bells and whistles. That is a gun that will increase in value if kept well, and will work the best in the field over any other imho.

In fact I have new one..
