Link Not interested in starting a pissing match but thought this rifle is interesting for a few reasons. Tons of engraving on it, but also has a muzzle break that I have never seen. Although the engraving is very high quality IMO I see this as a case of Too much of a good thing. It kind of takes away from the lines of the double. Thoughts? I would also like to know how effective the break is. Looks like an extension was added to the barrels but not sure. I dont see how a large hole in the end would do much more than make the thing loud! Maybe Butch will chime in and give us some info on this. It dosent look like his work. ****************************************************************** R.

Very nice rifle! But I would be afraid all the large critters would fall down and die laughing when they seen that brake. It is absolutely hideous. My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost. | |||

That rifle was made about 12 to 14 years ago. It is all stainless, and the muzzle brakes were integral with the barrels. That design of brake works very well, and believe me I've tried most out there. Not my taste but the money was. Also I used the H&H wedge method on this rifle. This rifle has been on several hunts to Africa. By the way I've never made anything like it since. Who can account for ones taste. | |||

Ain't that the truth...... the guy wasn't a pimp by any chance was he?  Very nice piece of wood though!  | |||

Hey Roscoe, why don't you buy that rifle, ans send it to me! I've got a good hacksaw to remove the brakes, and that thing would be a good one for Alaska's coastal brown bears to combat that salt sea air! I'll go along with you and film the hunt. ............................  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||

Not my style but beautiful nonetheless (except the brake). I like the elephant and would have that alone and without the gold. Wood is beautiful. While the brake may be effective, I'd have it off and I would love to have a stainless steel action and barreled double.

 Taste or lack there of can certainly not be accounted for. I also can't bring to mind a better case made for classic Engish scroll engraving. On a possitive note the wood is imaculate!

Little too much Bling for the coastal bears...maybe the Russian boars will work better. Better yet, I handled a SS Synthetic Double at Butch's shop a few years ago. I'll see if he will sell me that one and we can go to Alaska. You can pack my gear and rub my feet at night. R ****************************************************************** R.

We've been hunting with blued and wood for many years. Why swap to SS? It just takes a bit of extra effort to keep them maintained is all.

True, but I like the look of stainless steel and titanium for that matter. The added corrosion resistance is a bonus. NRA Lifer; DSC Lifer; SCI member; DRSS; AR member since November 9 2003 Don't Save the best for last, the smile for later or the "Thanks" for tomorow | |||

That rifle is not my cup of tea so to speak. I would like a ss box lock with a flat black bake on finish. Maybe a plastic working stock to change out with high grade wood stock when need. In 400-450 JD DRSS 9.3X74 tika 512 9.3X74 SXS Merkel 140 in 470 Nitro | |||

At the very short time Butch was making the all stainless double rifles, with synthetic stocks, I thought seriously about buying one of them. At that time I was hunting Alaska pretty hard every year, and loveing double rifle the way I do, that rifle was right down my alley. It wasn't the look of it that intrigued me but the absolute utility of the package that drew me. One of those chambered for 375 flanged with a good quick detach scope would have been the nuts in Alaska IMO! .........................  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||

I wish more fine gun makers were using stainless steel, at least as an option. . | |||

Did the guy you built it for look anything like either of these independent businessmen?   | |||
