Double rifle from the internet.

Factory Game Scene Engraved 1936 Victor Sarasqueta Sidelock Double Rifle in 375 H&H Magnum with Scope Attributed to Elmer Keith

Blued steel barrels with a ramped beaded blade front sight, fixed rear sight and German style claw mounts holding a Weaver V4.5B scope on the raised rear quarter rib, and chambers with automatic ejectors. The coin finished sidelock action displays scroll engraving surrounding four game bird scenes with a flock of mallards in flight over the water on the left, a covey of pheasant in a wooded scene on the right, a trio of mallards in flight on the underside, and a standing crane on the triggerguard. The serial number on the barrels do not match the action, though this appears to be factory as the set fits the action tightly. The rifle features bushed firing pins, double triggers, right hand rolled triggerguard, and a tang mounted manual safety switch. Beautifully figured, multi-point checkered forend with engraved fittings and straight grip stock with carved drop points and a red rubber recoil pad. The consignor states that this rifle was bought from legendary American shooter and writer Elmer Keith, who was also known to be a connoisseur of fine double rifles. Length of pull 14 1/16 inches. Weight 8 lbs. 10 oz. (with scope).

Excellent overall, retaining 99% original blue and coin finishes with limited minor handling evidence and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. The scope optics are clear. Mechanically excellent.















I'd buy it.And a set of 20-bore shotgun barrels would be great.

Everyone assumes the set of rifle barrels is after market and not made by the company.

It would be good to see the marks on the barrel flats.
