Thanks Tinker, "Ask and ye shall receive"! That's what makes this site so great; the wealth of knowledge and info here is staggering. I just hope it is not lost when all of we old pharts cash in our chips. I own six double rifles and am building a seventh. My 16-year-old grandson would far rather inherit ONE AR or AK or SKS clone than ALL of them.
Never mind. There are up and coming young guys.
I remember getting interested in double rifles maybe around seventeen. Shot my first one, a Frankonia 5.6x50mmR/.22 Magnum a year before maybe, by around seventeen/eighteen was buying my .30-06 M98 and looked at a .375 Mag side by side for only $1100. The .30-06 was $400. I turned down the .375 DR because I wanted either a bigger bore with just open sights or a .375 sized rifle fitted with a scope or mount fittings. I regret that since.
Double rifles are expensive for a lot of young guys, so it takes a while for them to have the spare $$$ and save up.
