If you keep making those kinds of improvements, I may have to get one my self! Can you make one in 465 H&H? 465H&H | |||

A V-C in 465 H&H should not be a problem if that is what you want. Ken DRSS, PP Chapter Life NRA Life SCI Life DSC | |||

I DO believe that if the Lord hunts with a D/R, and not with a bullet thruster such as our host's, that He will have had His D/R built with such a design on the fences... Very beautiful, most assuredly.  Next, as Woodward produced them:  D/R Hunter Correct bullet placement, combined with the required depth of bullet penetration, results in an anchored animal... | |||

Ken, Do you have a picture of the under lugs on the barrel flats? 465H&H | |||

Not the same gun but the lugs would look the same.  Ken DRSS, PP Chapter Life NRA Life SCI Life DSC | |||

Ken: You know I like vintage UK doubles, but you guys at VC never fails to impress me with the work. None finer!

Beautiful gun - Though it is CNC made one could easily mistake it for work by a craftsman! "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

What make you think it was done with CNC? I can assure you it is cut by hand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj1k2jMYhuc#t=49 Look starting at 3;48 Ken DRSS, PP Chapter Life NRA Life SCI Life DSC | |||

No matter the brand all double rifle makers use CNC for the rough shaping some of the parts to close to the finished shape, but I assure you that rifle was not totally done on a CNC machine, nor is any double rifle made today. That particular double rifle was done by someone who knows how to use a chisel and file! The CNC is used to do the hog work of primary shaping of parts that was done historically by appies while the final shaping & fitting is done by skilled human hands! ................................................................. ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||

I am no expert. Just saw the Purdy video from the other thread. They clearly state the difference between their bespoke guns and the Italian collaborations which they hand finish. I was only paying a complement to the VC (though it is not a Purdy) "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

Forgive my ignorance but what part does the pin play that is pictured high centre in the last photo. Beautiful workmanship on a work of art. | |||

My guess it releases the top lever | |||
