I ordred a rifle for a mate from VC and it was about 9 months if I recall correctly.

If you order before the US shows every year you might get it faster !

My last 2 were delivered within 12 mths , and that's after ordering at SCi late January, so they would have got the bulk of there orders by then. Mine were safari lux. with quite a few extras in 500 and 600. Email Ken at Kebco, he will look after you, he has with me!!

Cheers

Morten,
Unfortunately no lottery win for me yet!!
Just spending some of the kids inheritance along the way!!!!!
I plan on using all my guns hunting, I don't collect for the Gun room.
I'm 49 and plan on doing Africa as long as I am fit and able to, and at this stage in life the means are available, so, bring it on!!!
You only live once!!

Cheers

Verney Carron doubles seem to be the ''Go To'' doubles at the moment, good value for money ,nicely made ,good back and service ,you can get them in Real calibres like 500 NE ,577 NE ,600NE at realistic prices, unlike odiously priced English guns ! i think they are a winner !
