If I was looking for a new factory double I would look at all of them that is in my price range and that are available in Australia.

Krieghioff, Heym, Merkel, Chapuis.

And see which I liked and which I didn't. I liked the Merkel when I handled one before buying my Jeffrey double. I also handled one in Zimbabwe an dit was fine, the stock didn't come to the right point for me and the rear site was not right. I like a shallow V not a notch back site. I understand a shallow V can be ordered. Cutting the buttstock or extending it would have made it point better.

In the USA you have more choices.

BUT I would go for a good English double if I could find one at the right price first.
