Spice things up
      #392737 - 01/08/25 06:54 PM

Its been known for some times the interest in english doubles has experienced a decline. The younger generations seems to have a lesser interest in old iron than previous generationes. I too must admit feel I like what I have is enough and doesn`t need more. But then out of the blue when one thought no more collecting a piece turns up and suddenly in interest caught up again.

Many years ago I handled this doublerifle and thought if I owned this it would be enough...and I still do think this way. The owner is considering "divorce" him self from this gun as he has been a caretaker for many years and there are no pockets in the last set of cloths.

The rifle is a masterpiece from the best period. Made in 1896. It my book it doesn`t come better.

H&H .577cal bpe.

What dreams are made of...

What a rifle!
I agree that this could scratch a lot of itches.

You think the case was used to house a muzzle loading double at some point?

Lovely Lancaster. Is it yours now?

I'm sure everyone is intrigued by the mass of gun cases.

Is the .577 bpe the same as a .577 LNE? A 650 gr projevtile at maybe 1800, 1900 fps? If so effective.

Lovely rifle, If the owner wants a divorce from this pretty old bride, if be happy to house her.
