I assume you are referring to the Bad Boy. I have looked into it. It is Turkish, made in the same plant as the S&W doubles. I have to admit to being fairly interested, but the advertising for this gun states something to the effect of using existing tooling and regulating techniques in order to build at the asking price point.

It has been many years since I traveled extensively in Europe, and I have never visited the Near East, but I just don't recall seeing many Turkish double rifles, or more accurately, none. Not to say such a thing doesn't exist, but I would love a little more information on what the "existing tooling and regulating" is used for otherwise.

The website is a bit vague on pertinent information (I had to call and email to discover origin). The owner is pleasant enough, but not very verbose. You have to be proactive to keep the conversation going, he is not very forthcoming.

I have no problem with paying such an amount, but I would simply like to have a bit more constructive details to justify the price. I can buy a Huglu for a fraction of the cost, add sights, and play around until I find a load the regulates. It might not have the "flavor" of the Bad Boy, which does have somewhat of a resemblance to a double rifle, but it would serve the same purpose for a 1/3 of the cost.

My 2 cents.
