Firstly I want to say that oneday I would like to own or have owned some of the great modern makers of double rifles. Heym, Chapuis, Merkel, Searcy, Krieghoff and others. As well as adding to the vintage double rifles, currently only a Jeffrey. Who wouldn't like to have a vintage Holland & Holland, Westley Richards or Purdey?!

What I don't understand is the vehemence aganst brands of som double rifle owners to other makers. Some of it is so totally over the top it must be complete bullshit and of course have a commercial motive.

In the industry I work in we avoid blatant criticism of competitors as it results in a negative industry as the other side can ANYTIME do the same. Everyone looses.
