I have recently had the opportunity to buy a dream rifle , I have no idea what the rifle would be worth I know it’s got amazing wood on it and made by Jerome ,fits me like a glove and has less than 50 shots through it and well looked after what would be a ball park figure of what would be to much to pay ? What would one cost new? Also?

Saddle, welcome to AR. It's tough to put a value on it from over here with the exchange rate and all, but the VC doubles are fine rifles, with a triple lockup breech that you'll never wear out.

I can convert currency no worries, very small market here so I understand nothing will spot on and different to your value I’m pretty much sold on it as I would never sell it , would it appreciate over time or are they just a consumable?

It would bring $12,000 to $14,500 USD over here, depending on how "dolled up" it is.

Thank you great response!

Jon, do you mean 12.000-14.500 as used or as a new rifle ? I understand that a new Verney Carron cost a great bit more today. But what have happened to Verney Carron after Jerome joined Rigby I do not know.

Morten, I assumed he was looking at a used rifle? Yes, a new one would be closer to $20,000.

Called in today and took a pic of it rifle is the bottom one top one is a Hollis 450

I didn’t realise but he’s actually been on two hunts with Jerome one in Zimbabwe and one somewhere else I can’t remember but he showed me pics of him and Jerome I thought that was pretty cool

He has lots of nice rifles one of my favourites is the purdey but his Westly richards is also pretty cool

Some real beauties there!! Congrats on your new rifle and thanks for sharing!

Beautiful!

Low Saddle: where did you come up with that handle?

Elk hunting area I nearly grew up in had three saddles.
One of my favorites was the Low Saddle. Killed my
first elk at the High Saddle though.

Cheers,
