Re: What the French double rifle market looks like.

Had to laugh , under "brands" ...Both Holland & Holland and Purdey are missing off the list, however woodward exists. Perhaps the French believe Chapuis is the dogs bollocks when it comes to double rifles!
I think the filter is set to only list makers for which there are ads. No Holland double rifles on offer so it isn't listed.
Looks like a LOT of doubles on the market over there though.
In making a cursory look at what is on offer, looks like the 8X57R is very common chambering as I would think most Continental doubles stay in Europe and the 8x57 makes a lot of sense there. (hog hunting I suppose).
I know I like mine but they seem to be largely dismissed here in the US but honestly, could just about cover any big game animal from pigs to elk.
