I had a made-in-1998, unfired H&H 470 walk in today. The owner wants something in the 170K range. If someone is interested at that price, please feel free to call. | ||

That's just a lot out of my price range. Bet it's pretty tho | |||

WAY too much in my opinion. I would much prefer one better made and more collectable from the early 1900's which would sell for about half that price. IMO, a no brainer. For that money (or less) order one to fit. Deo Vindice, Don Sons of Confederate Veterans Black Horse Camp #780 | |||

What could a new one, made to fit you, cost? | |||

Chris, for the money, i'd rather have a Heym and keep the change.

I'll take the rifle, I just need to remember where I put Cal's credit card number. Double Rifles, This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as bolt rifle. An elegant weapon for a more civilized age. DRSS Chapuis 9.3x74R NRA Life Member | |||

After owning a few Hollands, I would not buy another! They are highly over rated and there are better guns available for a lot less money! | |||

Wow, aside from Maharajahs and maybe the Royals, I don't believe I've ever known or heard of anybody that's owned (sic) a few Hollands... USN (ret) DRSS Verney-Carron 450NE Cogswell & Harrison 375 Fl NE Sabatti Big Five 375 FL Magnum NE DSC Life Member NRA Life Member | |||

Luv Agree, but sometimes it is the name to some people. Better gun at lower prices isn't a Holland. However, some Holland's I have held have not been the best. Bolt action rifles and some DR's and Shotguns from the 50's, 60's and 70's Previously 500N with many thousands of posts ! | |||

Nigel my friend, I must respectfully disagree. IMO there was never a better DR than the H&H. Unless they've been dicked with, they all shoot well. Jorge, I'm just a redneck with a little bit of money.  I do own a "few" Hollands and they are the cat's ass in a DR. I still prefer my Purdey in a shotgun.

DD No one mentioned anything about "shooting" and apart from one DR I know of, I agree, they all shoot. But I stand by my statement that "some" of the guns that came out during the period I said were not the best. I also own and have owned a few Holland's. Never been a great fan of Purdey's, more a Holland man until I came across one that Extra Special engraving and was dirt cheap for what it was. Someone posted the "sister" of it in a 465 double rifle the other day, exact same engraving. http://forums.nitroexpress.com...arch=true#Post227414 Still prefer Holland's though.

You bet. I would love to own that Purdey 465 as it would make a great pair but it is way out of my price range. The oak leaves on the fences are superb. DD PM sent to you, send me a reply. Previously 500N with many thousands of posts ! | |||

I once made the comment that once you get over the $50 - 100k level, it is not price that matters but what the gun is, does it fit and a whole range of things particular to that person. Which is why you get people walk into H&H and just buy guns off the rack. Previously 500N with many thousands of posts ! | |||
