Where to look for used DRs?

I was thinking that it might be helpful (it would help me anyway) if there were a list of places, dealers, builders smiths to go to when on the look out for a used Double Rifle?

Naturally there's Gunbroker and Gunsinternational. But it seems there's also a bunch of other smaller places that have used guns. Like Champlins.

Where are some other suggestions?

Ivory Beads in Covina just got in a Merkel and a Krieghoff, not sure of the calibers but they have a website where you can get their #.

Mick Sheppard in England has a bunch of old BPE rifles too. But no Nitro rifles.
It shouldn't be a big deal to bring antiques into the country either.

Keep an eye on the Classifieds here as well....they pop up once a month, at least.

I'm keeping an eye out pretty much everywhere. I want a 9.3x74.

I've dug through a lot of leads found on GB and GI but I've also seen a lot of places mentioned here and NX that don't have listings on either of those.

DSC was a great show to see what's available at various pricepoints this year.

Not too much for SxS shotguns but, the DR were covered well for both new and used.

Here it is! I bought my K gun in 500/416 from them.
There are two 9.3x74R's for sale in the Classifieds right now.

Greetings Supercracker:

I have an Antonio Zoli side by side double rifle in 9.3x74R with scope for sale in the classifieds.

The rifle comes with the original box, factory target and warrenty card.

The rifle has less than 50 rounds put through it and is in immaculate shape.

I am selling because my wife says I don't "need" two D.R.'s in 9.3x74R and I plan on using the money to order a new rifle.

Kind regards,

Carpediem

No politician who supports gun control should recieve armed protection paid for by those he is trying to disarm.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways-scotch in one hand-Chocolate in the other-body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WHOO-HOO, WHAT A RIDE!!"

You can order a Chapuis UGEX 9.3 complete with ejectors through Dale Nygaard for approximately $4,500. Built to your LOP and delivery is running about 3 months. He has great terms for ordering one and is a man of his word. I purchased both of my Chapuis's from him.

17 January 2012, 18:29

I didn't see the UGEX listed on his site. I assumed he didn't deal with that model.

I'll e mail him. If that's the case then that would be quite a deal.

I LOVE the Ziegenhahns. But they're well beyond what I'm willing to spend. Not by a whole lot, but definitely more than I was planning on.

Don,
Dale responded to me a couple of times in December, and I am thinking about purchasing a Chapuis from him. Snowwolfe speaks highly of him. Are you waiting for delivery of your gun, or is there some issue? Just curios since I am looking to go down this path.

No, Dale never cheated me out of a gun. Just a small post sale issue I needed help with.
