Re: Ruark's W.J. Jeffery & Co. .450/400 NE 3"

9.3, good luck with your treatment. The success rate is very high these days so your chances of fighting this shit off are very good. We are all with you. Hopefully it won't be long before you can shoot your Merkel yourself.

Ripp, completely agree, it would be a fantastic double to take on Safari, especially as they are not that heavy due to recoil being only fractionally more than a 375 H&H. I have shot several at our BGRC shoots and have decided that is going to be the cartridge for my Stopping Double rifle which I have started working towards.

There are plenty of English doubles in 450/400 in both 3" and 3 1/4" for sale in the US, although many seem to have a bit of a fanciful price tag. Having said that the ones I have seen for sale are all from high end gun sellers. Surely there would be some working grade rifles at more realistic prices also availble.

John, I priced a new Chapuis recently and the price for a new one is $17500. Also priced the Heym 89B Professional Hunter which comes in at $21500. The Heym 89B looks exactly like a classic English gun.

There have been a few pre-war Jeffery doubles for sale at auctions over the last few years and they have sold for around the $15K mark, give and take.

Matt.
