Re: Who is the BEST builder of Double Rifles.

Hi Vikram,
sorry for my late replay but I was on vacation for two weeks and did not have access to the web. As someone told you recently, Hartmann & Weiss have no internet page. I visit them just recently ( one week ago ) and I can asure you they are the top of the top. They have just finished a pair of doubles in .375H&H Magnum. The nice thing is you can compare guns of other top gunmakers just in their house because most of the time they have others in for trade. At the moment they have a couple of Holland&Holland double barrel rifles in their house. A H&H .700NE; a pair of H&H 600/577 (REWA cartridge ); a H&H 500/465; and a H&H 375.
But there you can also see other makers. They have an absolute perfect boxlock from Gebr. Merkel build in April 1937 in 475No2. Which they praise with the highest respect. Too be honest this one is flawless in workmanship and nothing like what you see from that company today.
If I can answer your specific questions please do not hesistate to ask. I have the adress, phone number and email available.
What guns do H&W build today:
- bolt action and take downs on small, medium and large Mauser actions
- double barrel rifles any caliber up to .600
- Hagn rifle any caliber up to .600
- Heeren rifles
- side by sid shotguns
- over and under shotguns
