You might want to check with George Caswell. He had a 400/350 rising bite Rigby at the Dallas Safari Club. He had had it quite a bit of time and took it off the web site. He had a number of double rifles that weren't on his web site. I asked him why and he blamed "bloggers." I took it he meant sites such as this. He told me bloggers drive up prices, but cynic that I am, I really think he doesn't want them exposed to discussion. The pool of these pieces is so small that many of these have been around the block and people here know of them and can help out a potential pigeon. I know you all have helped me!
Kim,
He said "bloggers drive up prices"? G.C. sounds a tad out of touch, to put it mildly then. Clearly he doesn't want those guns discussed, which tells me to pull the brake cord. Sites like this one are an invaluable source of knowledge, and information for folks that know little of the trade. Also, with all the baby boomer's retiring, many are getting in to fine guns, but have little or no background with such guns. A dealers dream come true...
Richard,
Thank you for the insight.
