Dugaboy,

I understand what you are saying. Everything you say is right, if you can afford a commercial DR. However the only double rifles that I have are all homebuilt jobs. That in mind the pressure stuff always interests me.

Eventually I plan on owning a nice DR that started it's life as a DR and not a shotgun but that won't be anytime soon. In fact I even know what I want, I just can't afford it at this time.

For example the $4,000-$5,000 for most low end doubles is approx the same I had into the first 4 DR I made. That was spread out over almost 9 years.
