I think some of the comments in this thread have been a little harsh on newly made double rifles.

In the past we have also seen some pretty ridiculous comments in favour of particular brands and they read so much like a paid commercial advertisement

(PS If anyone is running hidden advertisements they need to drop me an email to discuss advertising fees

).

But as the last comments have said, everyone to their own. IMO a new double is a worthwhile shooting rifle, just as is a vintage double in good condition, plus a bit of nostalgia. And prices for both could go either way believe it or not.

The best solution is to have at least one of each

and enjoy what you own and are using.

Personally just like wine which I buy to drink, not to re-sell, I don't buy double rifles to sell as an investment. After a lifetime of buffalo, hopefully elephant and other assorted game, my children and grand-children can do the same (I hope!).
