Evolution USA double rifles?
#32118 - 27/05/05 06:28 AM

Does any body have any experience with these things. It's the first I've heard of them. They make a 9.4x74r for around 4k usd. Kind of convinient for us Yankies.

450-400, 9.3x74r and 7x65r.

Supposedly they are made on a Chapuis action.

Although I don't know how much they claim to "make" of them, most of the one pictured is clearly a Chapuis.

I doubt that he's changed is prices in a while... his big bore prices seem to reflect a more favorable exchange rate, although Chaddick's list the 9.3 at about 5500.

I'd call and confirm the pricing before i went too far out of my way to see one.

Call Dale Nygaard below and ask him to price you a Chapuis for comparison to the other two.

In reply to:

The Holland Bros. would be very proud of these modern masterpieces

Once again I have to ask. Who the Hell are the Holland Bros.?

Why would they be pround of a Chapuis action?

That was exactly my thought.

Why the hell Holland (I am assuming they were thinking of Holland & Holland)
would be proud of these things is beyond me.

Holland would not even look twice at them.

In fact, I think if you walkd into the H&H show room with one, they'd .......
my mind boggles at them trying to make a comparison to one the top
BEST GUN makers around.

In fact, it would make me extremely wary of what they are selling
- if a product doesn't stand on it's own 2 feet, stay away from it.

Maybe Irving and Milton Holland started the Company?

That would explain why they are proud.

Think I'll pass...

I'm going through Helena, MT far to the East to pick up a Simson cape gun two barrel set.

The thought of an Franmerican DR doesn't interest me...

I would have thought advertising them as Holland and Holland styled isn't too far from trademark infringement.

Actually he has not advertised them as a Holand but simply stated, " Holland Brothers would be proud ". No infringement has occured. A lot of gun makers will advertise their that their guns as having Holland style locks. Once again, no infringement.

In this case, the gun doesnt even have H&H locks, so there is even less to be proud of :P Maybe they can make a boxlock over/under the Boss Sistser can be proud of right!

The Boss Sisters are proud of the Model 24 Savage. So I've been told anyway.
