Hey Guys,I am a new member and I am looking forward to learning more about double rifles. I am waiting for my very 1st double rifle to arrive. Does anyone know any thing about a L Wesp of Darmstadt Germany double rifle. I think it was made before World War 1. 7x57r cal. The Guy I bought it from said he got 1 inch groups at 50 yards and 1 3/4 groups at 80 yards. After hearing this I went ahead and bought it. He used Norma 154 grain ammo. It was hunted with, you can tell but it is good shape. Can't wait to get it. Don't know the Gun Maker. This is what I'd like to find out. L Wesp was a shop keeper of hunting equipment and such. Hope to hear from you Guys. Thanks

A double in 7x57 is a nice find. And welcome to AR! Lots of doubles "experts" here....some self-proclaimed :-)

Thanks for the information. I'll be in touch when I get my Double.

Side by side double?
