Hello Everyone,
This is my first posting on this website. I've been reading everyone else's postings for some time now. I've learned quite a lot from all of you. I've wanted a double rifle almost as long as I can remember, which goes back a few years. I just purchased a "like new" Krieghoff Classic Standard in 9.3X74R that was for sale on Gunbroker. I bought it for $5,000. I've read as much as I could find about the gun before I purchased it. I am interested in your feedback and input on a few questions that I have.

1. Is this a fair price for this gun? The photos look as if it is "like new".

2. I've looked up a few places where I can buy ammo and loading supplies. However, I was interested in learning from those that hand load for the 9.3X74r if they loaded a "lite load" for it for deer or do they just replicate the "full house" loads? If so, what size and name brand bullet did you use?

3. Also, Krieghoff says this gun can be used with a mounted scope on it. Does anyone know where I can purchase scope mounts for it?

4. In addition to those questions, does anyone know anything else I need to know about this gun that I would not know by reading and research about it?

I appreciate all that I have already learned from all of you and I look forward to learning more from you all as well as sharing my experiences with you as I begin a new chapter in my life with my new double rifle.

Thanks,

JT
