At present, I have three double rifles. A C&H .475 3 1/4", a new Searcy PH model in .470 and a Westley-Richards boxlock in .450/400 3 1/4".

The C&H is a tool. Nothing more. It shoots 2.5" at 66 yards and as pretty as a 2x4. It works just fine, though. 480 grain Woodleigh's at 2150 fps.

The Searcy is like a Land Cruiser... well suited to it's purpose, which is day-in and day-out shooting of dangerous game. It is very, very accurate, shooting better than an inch at 50 yards, and with really stout loads (500 grain Woodleighs at 2250 fps). It is not particularly shapely, but has really nice wood. It is bulky and muscled up looking, like a quarterhorse... as opposed to an H&H sidelock (a throughbread??).

My Westley-Richards..... Just try to buy it from me and you'll see my opinion of it.

I really don't understand some of the comments about the C&H here... Maybe it's just my limited experience, but if a 100 year-old rifle will still shoot well, is tight on the face and comes to shoulder to suit me... Somebody must have done something right back when Winston Churchhill was between jobs?

Old and getting older, I hope. But once I was young.
