I have not handled that many double rifles, maybe 60-70, but I do live in New York and stop by the H&H boutique quite often. I believe that the best double I've ever handled; balance, fit and finish, quality of engraving, wood and over all esthetics was a ... searcy presidential grade.

I know all the pre war english fans are going to think I'm a bumkin, but that's the DR that stands out in my mind as the best I've ever handled.
