I've never said anything of the kind and wouldn't, because it isn't true. Good double rifles are expensive by their nature. I pointed out the difficulty inherent in placing a sound, functional double rifle, in multiple calibers, on the market in the price range of the Merkel, Chapuis, and Heym. It's quite a tightrope for them to walk. I also said that those makers do a good job, given the cost limitations imposed. Fine double rifles, built without those limitations, are also available on the market in the $15-20,000 price range. You just can't buy them new for that. New is important to some people, but not at all to many others here.

In reply to:

"You certainly went there with the Heym."




I did nothing of the kind. I said it was a good value for the money.

In reply to:

"Not real neighborly to the folks here who don't have that kind of money to throw around on a rifle."




Nor, as stated above, is there any need to.

Life's enthusiasms get the blood going - that's what they're for, and life would be dull without them. This board is for double rifle enthusiasts. Many auto enthusiasts would love to have a new Ferrari. Many sailing enthusiasts covet a new Hinckley. Many of the double rifle enthusiasts here might lust after a new Purdey. The vast majority of those folks can't afford any of those things, and I can't either - 99% of the people in the world can't. That observation isn't an insult of any kind - calculated or inadvertent. The fact that you imply otherwise says it all.

In reply to:

"Don't think there's anything wrong with my reading comprehension - you can't read what's not there."




You certainly seem to have managed. This isn't the first time since you've been here that you've manufactured offense where none was present. From your last post, you're clearly still trying to make the point that we were discussing about something that it isn't. I doubt that it does not lie within your gift to comprehend the concept of weight distribution, but doing so wouldn't serve your need to assuage the burden of the chip on your shoulder. You seem to have a perverse need to find offense, where ever it may be hiding. If that's what makes you happy, well, to each his own. Christ, Jim you really need to lighten up!

I encourage you to stop reading my posts. Given what you've been able to glean from them, and the fact that they give you so much heartburn, you might as well.
