Congratulations on the new double and like everyone else has said, welcome to the club!

I must say that I too cannot afford a vintage British Double (that I lust after) with a young family and mortgage etc. but the Bakail's do offer a chance for us newbies to experience the joy of hunting, shooting and talking about double rifles.

I would LOVE a 9.3x74R as I have easy (relatively) access to buffalo hunting in the NT being a former resident, and with all of my family still living there; and would like a big gun to hunt them with. The only thing is that I have to somehow convince the other half of this excruciating need.

Might take a trip to McDonald's to see the rifles and fondle one off the shelf. This is how all the trouble starts! When is the next BGRC shoot and who on here will attend, look forward to meeting any NE members.
