Agreed, that's a very nice rifle.

I think I can kick myself in the ass. I waited a couple days to call and it was sold.

$8900, not bad.

Beautiful rifle, and well worth the $8900 price! I have one question though, why is the picture of the rifle in a case below in this post? That is an O/U double with a straight grip, and has nothing to do with the S/S Manton Double rifle!

Now this is a rifle that I don't mind spending the money on, even it is not my favorite caliber.

I looked hard at this one. If I wasn't double poor it would be in my safe. Great caliber for American game. With good bullets anything goes.

You are right there, jorge is thinking of taking one to Africa after Buff, also TR used it over there and raved about it.

Alas though it is gone.

Is anyone able to tell me who made the rifles for Manton & Co, or what actions they were made on?
