What the opinion on these? Considering a 9.3x74r. Just want to maybe shoot an elk or black bear and just have a double. Randy

Randy, that's probably their Victoria model?

I had one in 9.3; got a bear with it. Nicely built rifle.
Wood was plain though.

Steven Dodd Hughes, known here on AR by his initials, SDH, once represented them here in the USA.

My sense, only from having seen and handled them, is that their rifles are top-notch.

But Steven would surely know all of the reasons why.

A friend of mine has one in 9.3 X 74R that I admired greatly so he loaned it to me to play with. Good friend. Anyway, his was a fine rifle and I thoroughly enjoyed his generosity. At the time he didn't own a chronograph so I ran his loads over mine in a feeble attempt to repay his kindness.

I worked with a company that imported P&V guns and spent a week in the P&V workshops in Nuvalero, Italy observing manufacture of al their firearms. The are very well made, largely handmade double guns.
I've seen numerous 9.3, 375H&H, 8mm as Anson & Deeley style boxlock guns. I've shot them finding good accuracy and although I was once charged with maintenance and repair only remember working on trigger pulls, cleaning, oiling and adjusting.
Usually found quite reasonably priced on the second-hand market.
