If you keep making those kinds of improvements, I may have to get one my self! Can you make one in 465 H&H?

A V-C in 465 H&H should not be a problem if that is what you want.

I DO believe that if the Lord hunts with a D/R,
and not with a bullet thruster such as our host's,
that He will have had His D/R built with such a
design on the fences...
Very beautiful, most assuredly. salute



Next, as Woodward produced them:



D/R Hunter

Correct bullet placement, combined with the required depth of bullet penetration, results in an anchored animal...

Beautiful gun - Though it is CNC made one could easily mistake it for work by a craftsman!

What make you think it was done with CNC?
I can assure you it is cut by hand.

No matter the brand all double rifle makers use CNC for the rough shaping some of the parts to close to the finished shape, but I assure you that rifle was not totally done on a CNC machine, nor is any double rifle made today.

That particular double rifle was done by someone who knows how to use a chisel and file!
The CNC is used to do the hog work of primary shaping of parts that was done historically by appies while the final shaping & fitting is done by skilled human hands!

I am no expert. Just saw the Purdy video from the other thread. They clearly state the difference between their bespoke guns and the Italian collaborations which they hand finish.

I was only paying a complement to the VC (though it is not a Purdy)

Forgive my ignorance but what part does the pin play that is pictured high centre in the last photo.

Beautiful workmanship on a work of art.
