I agree with Mac, the way the question is worded, we need to be able to select more than one answer.
Perhaps a companion poll, such as "In which country was your current FAVORITE double rifle made?
My country gal's just a moonshiner's daughter, but I love her still.

Clearly MacD37 is right, there is more than one AR - DRSS member with too many doubles... sadly I am not one of them!
Member NRA, SCI- Life #358 28+ years now!
DRSS, double owner-shooter since 1983, O/U .30-06 Browning Continental set.

You're right--I wasn't thinking about the guys that have several of these things! If I edit the poll it will forfeit all the answers so far. Think we should start it over with other options or answers?

MacD37Don't edit this one simply start another one with more than one choice! I have doubles from Germany, UK, Italy, and Japan right now!

SpringMac,
Here's an idea....Just delete your cookies after you go to TOOLS and then INTERNET OPTIONS and you will be able to come back and select additional countries as needed.

MarrakaiNo suffering here, I just tick 'UK'!
My DRs are all pommie built. I just prefer the classic lines of British guns over 'Continental', but fully appreciate the high standard of most European workmanship. Never seen a Searcy in the flesh, and wouldn't want to see a Cal-Rigby for fear of bursting into tears.

Good one, SPRING! As you can tell, I'm a fair trade advocate! If it fits, and it shoots where I point it, and has the right chamber, for the price, I'm origin blind!

Remington40xGerman guild gun dated 1926 chambered for .250-3000. Regulated for a 120 grain load (no, I don't know why this load shoots to point of aim while the 87 grain factory loads for which the rifle was proofed do not).
Needs a scope, since my aging eyes won't let me shoot irons at any distance anymore. No bases on the rifle, so I'd have to get them installed. Lot of money for a rifle I paid $3500 for initially and I'm not sure I'd get it back.

UK would win by a long way if you could vote more than once.

Double Rifles often regulate with lighter bullets than they were proofed for. I have a number of DR's that I can shoot lighter bullets in than was intended.
