Ok guys, I haven't seen a list on here that outlines the Double Rifles that everyone owns.

So, if you want too, reply to this so we can all see what guns you have.

Merkel 140 .500 NE

I've got a couple:

WJ Jeffrey SxS .450 No.2 Nitro Express; & a
Tikka 512 SD U/O 9.3x74 mm Rimmed.

Hopefully end up with an additional barrel(s) for the Tikka.

A Greener Empire 12-bore is a future project. Another future project is a modern scoped .500/.416 SxS, a rifle I deem will be truly useful.

Some of the guys here have truly inspiring collections but may be reluctant to tell online. Myself I am only starting and have vicious dogs and Fort Knox as storage.
