Because the local pawn shop had only two rifles for sale in calibers suitable for deer. One was an Enfield SMLE MKIII in .303 and the other was a Royal Grade Holland & Holland double in the same caliber. Since both had iron sights and the Holland was cheaper, I bought it. I kinda liked the little pictures engraved on the sidelocks, too.

Actually, I hunt with double rifles because it brings me great joy to hold such fine things in my hand, to re-live a time past, and to hunt in a manner that requires close communion with God's creatures. That's also why, when bowhunting, I don't use compound bows, but hunt with a recurve or longbow.

Anyway, with my bushy mustache, I look like Teddy Roosevelt.
