This rifle was built for a customer back in 1999.
The theme for this rifle was the second amendment.

More pictures please ! Did H&H build it ? Confused I built it, I wouldn't show a rifle that I didn't build.

Rick it weighs 19 lbs.

I thought the theme of this rifle would be appropriate for political atmosphere these days.

Great theme, seems especially appropriate for a .700. What is on the left side of the receiver? I like the cheekpiece shape in particular too.

I don't own any DRs (yet), but I've been enjoying the work you've been posting Butch. Thanks for sharing. I'm living vicariously through the double rifle, big bore, and African hunting forums here.

Perhaps he got confused Butch because you used H&H in the thread title. Just sayin'

Not a reasonable caliber. With 577 NE, 600 NE, 12, 10, & 8 bore already in existence why bother?

I'm sure it was built well though.

Appears to be a very short LOP. It's a thumper, all right.

Hi Cal,

I see the 4B & 2B as being in a separate category all together,
and not belonging in the same paragraph as any other caliber.
Just my take... shocker

Like the theme but a little subtlety in making a statement goes a long way.

My edumacated guess in conjunction with the theme of the rest of the rifle would be the Bill of Rights?

It's a short length of pull so you can wear 3 or 4 PAST recoil shoulder pads under it.

It's left handed but I really don't want to shoot it.
