A confession.
I do not own a Holland and Holland double rifle in 577 nitro.
Yes, yes, I know. It’s part of the code. I know if I was really serious about shooting I would, but I haven’t. So here’s one, if anyone has some spare change about and wants to correct this hideous atrocity for me. I just can’t be bothered. Yes, I know it’s ornate, but one just has to make sacrifices. At $198,000.oo, I’d have to sacrifice SOMETHING.
Makes a Merkel double at $10k seem a bargain, no?

Damn Og, I just had a full on ADOS moment there. Attention deficit OOOH SHINY!
So why not get the next best thing , a M1 Garand from the CMP. Made in America, by Americans, for Americans to stamp out the axis, communists, and any other heathens that would desire to oppress and stand in the way of freedom!
Gee. Maybe I should try it with cameras. “Gee, I REALLY want that Mamiya at $10K. But… Oh. Kay. I’ll settle for the Nikon at ONLY $4500.
Heh.

Petey WANT!!!!!!
*wading out of the puddle of drool*
I would cheerfully murder people in their beds to own that gun.
Last year at the big Tulsa show saw a Holland & Holland double, .470 NE. In the original case. With the turnscrews, oil & solvent bottles. Obviously used and well cared for.
Hey, it was a bargain, only $28000.
Hands down the best value in a Double today are the guns being made by Butch Searcy.
I have a spare change fund for one of his PH models in 470 Nitro(about 11K at the time, now discontinued. Bah!). I would point out that he has a first class 577 Nitro boxlock for $22K. Or to put it another way, for less than half that H&H, you can buy a Searcy 4 Bore double.
Well sheesh, you gotta have the Super-Duper-Double-Deluxe with jimmies on top, dontcha?
A James Woodward 3-inch .500 is only $4400…
“I would cheerfully murder Democrats in their beds to own that gun.”
Tam, fixed it for you. No sense in risking injury to human beings.
Oh, and my shoulder is giving me warnings here. It thought the M44 kicked hard.
Windy, I am a recoil junkie.
Meh.
Pretty, sure. But they would have been required to show me the action, open, and cartridges to scale to get me drooling.
As is, it’s an “Oh, that’s nice… very pretty”. And easy to resist.
What, you don’t have one? You can borrow one of mine…
