Can the members of AR who have a DR post poctures of them? I would be very interested to see the variety of DR's people have on this forum. I'm sure others would enjoy it as well.

Smoked this Black wildebest at over 200 yards. Don't ask to see me do that again.

here's a chapuis 470 that i owned


Here's a Chapuis 375 that i also owned.

I shot this whitetail this winter. The shot was at just under a 100 yards. It's the first thing I've shot with my Krieghoff double. It's a Classic 5 "Lefty" in 7x65R.

Very nice wood on the Chapuis. Was it an upgrade?

A. Hollis and Son 450/400 3 inch

Here is a pic from our (DRSS) hunt in Texas this past April.

thats one sexy rifle rusty...

I see that line of rifles and thought of all those movies showing a line of motorcyles falling down as someone knocks over the first one. Would hate to see them all fall against that wire. It is a very nice picture though.

Yes, on the 375 the wood was upgraded.

What you didn't see was all the owners standing just out of camera shot waiting for that exact thing to happen.

No tragedies that day!

All the rifles are very nice.

Here's a link to a picture of mine when it was featured in The Double Gun Journal. Here's another.

Here's a couple pictures of my 1911 Charles Lancater NE 450/400

I remember seeing that issue. Nice gun. You got that from Lewis Drake, right?

This is a 43+" Buff taken with my Merkel 470NE in 2004 with PH Stuart Taylor and Nengasha Safaris in Omay area of Zim.

Nice Buff!

My FN-Browning 9,3x74R

I could not imagine doing Africa without a SxS&/orM98.

The Merkel's are a not bad looking work double, but they look even better beside a nice animal.
They point and shoot even better than they look.

I like that Charles Lancaster...a lot!

Anyone with eyes and trigger finger feels the same way I think.

I have a 470NE Merkel as well, and I'm well satisfied with it's performance! It has taken two Elephant, and two Cape Buffalo with one shot each, by it's previous owner. It has only punched a little paper since I've had, but I'm working to change that! Congratulations on a fine Buff!

Searcy 470 Nitro with extra set of 12 Ga barrels. Upgraded wood & engraving.

damn thumper470...

great rifle

Here's another picture of the Lancaster 450/400 NE. It's a sidelock, assist/self opener with ejectors. Very accurate & comfortable to shoot. Seems to have plenty of punch, used Woodleigh solids on this elephant. Have thought about going up to a 450 No. 2 - 500 NE range but this 450/400 seems to get the job done.

Army & Navy 450/400 3 1/4"

Dang Straight the 450/400 gets the job done!

Very nice elephant. How much did the Ivory weigh? It looks beautiful.

There are no flies on the 450/400.

I second that. Very nice ivory.

Thanks NE 450 & Bulldog,
The tusks weighed approx 62 & 55lbs, not sure if the nerves were bigger than normal (see pic) but my PH thought they were going to weigh more than that.

Jungleboy
What year and where did you get him. I do not know about the nerves as They had not pulled my Ivory out of the skull before I left.
I looked down the inside of my tusks and your nerves do not look too far out of line to me.
I think we use "weight" to judge Ivory because in the Ivory hunting/poaching days it was the weight that was important as the price was by the pound. They commonly cut 100 lb tusks in half to make them easier to transport!!!.

You tusks "look" very nice. Mine weighed @55 and 50 lbs and look good ie proper length to weight. I have seen heavier tusks that I did not like as much as yours or mine.
Nice buffalo and double rifle also.

NE 450'
2003 in Chirisa, Zimbabwe.

Hope more members will post pictures of their doubles, especially with the game they've taken.

Ozhunter, nice buff!

Jungleboy, that's a lovely Ele taken in a great area with just the right gun.
I enjoyed my stay in Chirisa and saw a nice Ele there but had no licence for him.

46" Cape buffalo from the Chirisa Safari Area in Zimbabwe - taken with Cogswell and Harrison .475NE.

One antlered sambar taken with my Chapuis 9.3x74R from the Victorian high country near Mansfield. Sorry that there has to be two photos to get the whole image in - my hunting companion, who took the photos, might know a lot about hunting sambar but he is the world's worst photographer!!!

This is my first try posting a photo so I hope it works - and sorry if it doesn't. My rifle is a Marcel Thys sidelock in 458wm.

JPK

Wow!, it worked. Here is a better photo of the rifle.

Keep them pictures comming.

Did your elephant "fall" down just like it looks in the picture? And if so was it a frontal or a side brain shot?

Any problems with extraction/ejection with that 458.
