Demand for double rifles is at an all-time high, with many rough and beat up old guns bringing outrageous prices, and many double rifle builders are taking orders up to 2 years in advance.

It seems to me that the market for doubles will have difficulty remaining this strong for the long term. Any opinions?

To be honest I think that it is to a degree a fad.
If doubles are right for the person they will most likely stay with them but I believe quite a lot of new buyers will only play for a short while.
Doubles are not everyones cup of tea.
It takes a certain amount of devotion and some "would be doublers" may not be prepared to put in the effort in the long term.
But then again as some drop out, maybe there will be enough newcomers to keep the fad going.
