MY 3rd VERNEY CARRON DOUBLE RIFLE - 470 NE

MY 3rd VERNEY CARRON DOUBLE RIFLE - 470 NE - GOT THIS A WHILE BACK BUT NEVER POSTED

I got this VC 470 NE but never posted any info about it. I have 2 other VC doubles, an early 475 No.2 NE http://forums.nitroexpress.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=doubles&Number=348883 .... and a 600 NE. http://forums.nitroexpress.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=270035&page=0&fpart=1&vc=1

This one is super cool. I have owned 2 other 470 NEs that since went down the road. Those were a Sabatti and a Merkel. This VC out-classes those two by a long shot.

Here are the specs:

Action is Round Body Professional Hunter w/ Ejectors.
Barrels are 24" w/ Quarter Rib w/ a single Standing Leaf
Length of Pull is 14-3/4"
Weight is a proper 11 pounds 3.6 ounces (loaded)

The rifle is now cased in an All Leather Trunk Case. Field test to follow.

as always your comments are most welcome.

Please add my admiration too buckstix.
Marvelous stuff!

Especially love the modern provenance. Assuming John Koegler took it hunting, and is still with us, can you call the guy and get a few stories?

I like it! How is the fit, balance, and handling?

Absolutely perfect all the way around ..... and very manageable recoil.

I really like the wood. The grain flow through the wrist couldn't be better.
