Re: Is the current double craze just a fad?

Peterb,
Well said sir!

As long as there are hunters there will be a demand for double rifles! I personally think that the availability of brass that was once no available is a big factor in the resurgence of folks shooting doubles. Who wants a rifle they can't find brass for?

In an hundred years, a double rifle will still be a specific tool for a specific job and there will be folks like us who want to own one. You will never be able to justify buying one, but then again, when did that ever stop us?

My ultimate turkey rifle would be a double rifle in 22 Hornet. Tapered, rimmed case, perfect for a double rifle.

I do see a short term problem with brass. The folks at MAST Technology that were making BeLL brass have sold their machines to a fellow named Jameison. I do not think he inteds to make Nitro Express brass. While there are some others making brass for the Nitros, the loss of Mast and BeLL will impact the market. Just my opine!
