Online Article - "Romance of the Double Rifle"

A new article added to the "Nickudu Files - Vintage books and articles":

"Romance of the Double Rifle" by Tony Sanchez-Arino

Despite my forty-six years as a professional
elephant hunter in Africa, having
seen hundreds of weapons and used many
of them, every time that I get in my hands
a double rifle my mind always asks the
same silent question: "What fantastic histories
would tell to us if he were able to
speak. .? "

No doubt that the double rifles are the
most sporting and romantic rifles among
all the weapons employed by the yesterday
and today's big game hunter, amateur
or professional, specially developed for
sporting hunting purposes ....


... the double barrelied
rifles came to perfection at the same time
as the great era of exploration, colonial
conquerors and great tropical hunts leaving
behind them the most vivid tales of
their use and successin the pursuit of elephant,
tiger, rhino, buffalo, ...


From about 1900 the double rifle has
hardly altered in any essential detail. The
style of finishing has changed a little, but
the basic mechanism has remained the
same.


To own a double rifle is the "golden
dream" of every devoted hunter ...


Absolutely!
