I am also looking into a Verney with the same features as yours.  Mine will be in 470 though and will have sling studs (rear with twin screws) and a Splinter fore-end. | |||

Tell me about the rear sling stud - in terested in the twin screws. Thanks, Paul 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 | |||

Just your typical twin screw type as I'm "over" the single screw type that always unscrew when the sling loops around. | |||

Ken, Is my double almost done?  Just kidding, though I wish I weren't. Today is a beautiful day and one to spend in the field shooting double rifles at dangerous, charging mellons.

Doc: Congratulations on your new double. If I was in the market for a double right now, I would have picked a VC as well. It's the closest thing to a "bespoke" gun that us mere mortals can afford. Please post some pictures for us when you get it. I think Biebs has a .600 as well.

Dave, not another Blaser S2 ??? Traitor! No on the 600...I had a 577NE DR but traded it for my 2006 Harley Davidson Road Glide! However, my new best friend Bailey Bradshaw will be crafting me a falling block double ...a dedicated Elephant rifle, due mid-2011. It will be a work of art! | |||

I do have the 600 OK "Tembo" and my 700 AHR "Gorilla". No safe is complete without them, huh??? | |||

Biebs: I laughed when I say your post. I have an 06 Road Glide as well. Wish I had gotten to shoot your .577 before you parted with it.

You are welcome to take it anytime you like - when the weather agrees with riding, that is. Let me know when you want it for a weekend or more, not a problem.

Can I putt up on my Street Glide and find a curvy blacktop road to cruise some with you? Maybe I can find an AR guy with a Harley about half way with a spare bedroom and some single malt for a R.O.N on the way?

I have a custom black 04 Softail as well, if we're short a bike. And for JudgeG, a restored 1971 Moto Guzzi Eldorado LAPD Police bike! It is reliable as hell at plodding along at its own pace....like Ernest on an Jumbo stalk!!!!!!!!!! | |||

Guys, If you haven't already done it, you have to ride Colorado. I have done it a bunch of times, most recently this summer on my Beemer (K1200LT). My nephew and two of his buddies from came along.

Will rideing to Colorado even warm up the motor??? lol lol I drove my bike from south central Alaska, down the ALCAN hi-way, to Seattle, east to MI., up through Mi. into Canada going easy to NB. Then NP to Maine by ferry, then heading down the east coast, and then west. I went across all the southern states angleing to Utah, then NW back up to Seattle. 14,9999 miles in all... Actually, i drove down the ALCAN twice, the other trip was 12,300 miles... And this was before most of it was paved... DM | |||

Quick update: Hoping to have it completed by April. Don't know if this will work as I am doing it on "smart" phone since can't access Photobucket from "System" computer. If it does work, here are some photos of the engraving progress. The Elephant is from a photo I provided ...

They (we) might, but then again, would probably think it had something to do with bicycle wheels or "to speak".

I hope that when the wood is oiled and finished it has that deep, reddish color that cavu67's French Beauty has in the photos he posted.

This is getting ridiculous ... Adding a Verney-Carron presentation case to the package. By the time I'm done, I'll need to build a shrine to the gun ... Hoping to see it in a month or so ...

Doc: My son lives in Bethlehem, PA. I told Biebs that the next time I get out there, I wanted to run over to Hanover and meet Ken and try and track both you guys down to meet you and get a look at this gun.

Dave, Ken is a great guy - genuine in every way. If you are going to be around there, give me a heads-up a few days in advance - it's a bit of a haul from me to Ken's neck of the woods, but certainly worth the trip. If you're OK with driving this way, we could meet up with Biebs at Griffin & Howe. Talk about a store for big boy toys!
