The NorwegianIf you order before the US shows every year you might get it faster !
The more I know, the less I wonder !
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!!

Morton,
It's in production and build time 2.5 years!
Should be delivered early to mid 2016.
Looking forward to that!!!!!
I shall on my return home put up another post of my visit to the factory in DEcember and some photo's of the place. It's quite impressive indeed.

The NorwegianNick,
won the lottery ?
A New VC 500
A New VC 600
A New WR ???
A old VC 500 ??
Maybe one nice double in every harbour ? Would have been nice though avoiding travelling with guns !
Cheers,
Morten

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

tankhunterVerney 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 !
Looking forward to the pics, Nick! Good hunting!
