MauserRifle

You've got good advice from 500Nitro. The type of action, barrels etc is more important than the name on the rifle. The name will give you level of finish but you can pay extra for the name only.

It will also sell for more.

I also like Army Navy and have a pretty special litttle 12 Ga sidelock by them. Don't forget their are cheap English Guns that are not worth the money being asked also. Most Cogswell and Harrisons I have seen would fit in here, Most but not all.

To list by maker and quality is a hard chore. Like listing Automobiles or Whiskey. It is very subjective.

I like stuff that is well made and will be worth more to sell than buy. English or sometimes Austrian. I like Thys rifles as I think they are a good combo of quality action, fit and finish.

Obviously where you buy is important. You will not get a good deal from H&H but you can at times from Westley Richards. Once you understand what you are looking at you can even find a deal at a local Gunshow occasionally.

I have no experiance with Merkel, Searcy, Krieghoff etc. I have looked at them all but that is it. Others that I feel actually know what makes a good Double seem impressed with all three as a value and as starters. Personnaly I would save up a few more dollars and buy a nice English Rifle but I know that is not always possible.
