My 465 Holland has been sold
28/10/04 01:36 AM

I don't think I was ever happier to get rid of a rifle as I was the Holland! It was a beautiful rifle in the original case but a royal pain in the ass to deal with. I tried every load imaginable to make it shoot without any luck at all. If you fired the left barrel first, you got a big surprise - - - It would fire both barrels at once! I must honestly say that it " kicked like an indignant camel".

I am now faced with finding a replacement. I really like Butch Searcy's rifles but am a little hesitant as anything but English double rifles are difficult to sell. I had a Chapius double in 375 that shot perfectly. I had taken this rifle in trade and had a price of $ 5,000 US on the piece. I kept this gun for 18 months and was convinced that I would be buried with it! A fellow came up to my table at a gun show and offered me 3500.00 for it. I accepted his offer and wanted to give him a kiss for buying it!! Not really but you know what I mean.
When times get tough and I need to get some fast, I can always rely on selling an English gun fairly quickly. It also seems that the supply of decent English stuff is really drying up. I would be interested in all of your opinions! Many thanks.
