In reply to:

Another point of interrest is 90% of the English guns out there are junk, the bores are bad, they have been redone half a dozen times, they require a lot of maintenence, they shoot off the face and so fourth...





So what's the evidence that 90% of English double rifles are "junk" ???

I started another thread on first hand experience because of statements like these. So far no first hand seriously negative posts have been made. Some guys on these forums have owned 20 or 30 such doubles over their careers. Undoubtably some have had issues but 18/20 or 27/30 !!!! That thread is a perfect place to record that sort of info for all readers benefit.

Those people that comment that about not being able to discuss modern doubles, I don't see where they are getting that from !? All modern brands of double rifles are welcome to be discussed on these forums. Modern German, Spanish, Italian, Czech, Finnish, US, whatever. (My next one is a modern Finnish BTW. (Temporary snipped dueto a competition) Probably the reason 'vintage' English doubles are discussed and not modern examples is because of the hefty price tags for a new H&H, Purdey, WR and lack of depth in the most people's wallets etc.

As also discussions on black powder, nitro for black are also welcome. These doubles are not junk if they can still be used with suitable loads.

But people making wild disparaging claims shouldn't hope that they not be challenged. A member or three is sure to ask where these sorts of numbers are coming from.

Personally I do not mind some robust discussions. None of this is life and death stuff you know. Its also better to keep discussions from getting personal and "above the belt".
