My favourite maker is Purdey with H & H second WR third. I am a fan of Brit Rifles, pre war. Some very nice Euro stuff also from that time period.

Brit rifles seem to have a panache that others lack. A friend calls it Soul.

Favourite caliber 500/465 for no particular reason. I also like the 400's and the 9.3x74R.

I've never had a rifle Double but I have seen two, a 475#2 Holland and a .577 2 3/4 750 gr Hollis. Both were shooter errors in allowing the finger to slip off the front trigger and hit the back.

I don't think it is legal to use Holland & Holland and Searcy in the same sentence. Like comparing a Mercedes to a KIA. The same price difference also.

If you want Art and Investment value get a Best Quality, Pre War Brit Rifle. If you want a tool that may or may not increase in value over the next few decades get new rifle in one of the myriad of low priced rifles available.
