pwm,

Thanks again for the information. Frankly, the only double rifle of German origin I have seen in India was a Sauer. There are some bolt action rifles and while Mausers are highly preferred these days in the west, the classic bolt action in India was always a Mannlicher. Older Winchesters and Remingtons are also available as are some older Weatherbys but then we are speaking of a different era altogether...

I just saw an old Collath action modified into a 45-70 double rifle on Gunbroker - I hope it doesn't break your heart!
