I find it really interesting how Marcello has taken the images from his cape buffalo studies/artwork and placed them over the various surfaces of the Verney-Carron rifle. An eye here, part of two duelling bulls boss to boss here, etc.

I must say I'm impressed with the Verney-Carron offerings after handling them and discussing them with Ken Buch last weekend. It appears that this company will accommodate most any desire at a reasonable price and in a reasonable delivery time.

There are quite a few choices of how the action is to be filed, what caliber to make, as well as stock design. The actions appear to be quite strong and well fit. Ken's enthusiasm is contagious.

If I were in the market for a current production DR I would seriously consider this maker. Or shall I say When I find myself in the market. . . (Ken and I had a very interesting discussion about a proposed V-C rifle in .22 Savage HP with an extra set of .303 Brit. barrels.)

Now you are being truly sick spreading the disease with such bait. That sounds like it would be a wonderful rifle.

I'll drop Jean Verney-Carron a line and see if that info is available. Or he can answer here if he wishes.

Let me tell you how truly sick this is. Ken wanted photos of a Westley Richards double rifle for V-C to use as a pattern for just this project. I told him to help himself to the photos of my WR .303 previously posted here on NE.com at this link.

Sick for sure.

That was the kicker for me... and also that all of the people involved are very up-front and genuine. They take great pride in their guns!

Kens alright too!!

I just found out that the factory will be shipping me this gun in December so that it will be available for the safari shows in January. The gun can be seen in person at the Dallas and Houston Safari Club shows and of course at the SCI show in Reno.
Look for the Verney-Carron booth and please stop by and say hello.
