You'll find the Wilkes to be a good quality rifle, as long as it is still in good condition. Avoid Westley ammo. The current Kynoch is excellent.

If you're going to take up the double, learn to use double triggers correctly. Reversing the correct firing sequence in order to avoid double discharges is no substitute. If you're hunting with a soft in one barrel and a solid in the other, sooner or later, you'll need to fire the right barrel first. If you haven't mastered double triggers, what do you do then? Just accept a double discharge?

The correct firing sequence is Right-Left. If you don't keep your finger mounted on the front trigger through the recoil impulse of the right barrel, it may slip off and strum the rear trigger hard enough to fire the left. Like anything else, some guys have a lot more trouble with this than others. To start, wrap your index finger around the trigger with the trigger blade in the first joint, not between the joint and the tip. Play with it from there and find out what works for you. When firing the right, put an empty primed case in the left until you get the hang of it.

I've never had any of my fingers whacked by the front trigger or the guard bow when firing a heavy double.
