Mickey is right if all you want is a rifle that works, and is reliable without worry, then the PIGS will serve you well. If you want to depend on them to guard your life, then the PIGS will serve well! Some better than others. Of those mentioned the B Searcy PH model, Heym and the W. Douglas, are the ones I would consider of those you mention, but you can add the 140-1 470NE Merkel to this group. If I had to choose one of them all, then it would be the Heym 88,or the W douglas, at $16K US, or the Searcy PH, at $10K US. The Heym 88,I have owned, and absolutly loved it! However, considering the price difference, I would most likely buy the Searcy PH, in 470. One word here, I don't buy double rifles to sell, I buy them to hunt with, and the Heym, or Searcy will do anything the Britts will, and in fact, are better regulated in some cases!

I own, and have owned many Britt doubles, both rifles, and shotguns, and I collect Westley Richards doubles. Mickey is right they are, every one, worth more than I paid for them, but I have several German, and other Europien doubles that are worth far more than I paid for them, as well.
