Enter the Universe of Double Rifles & Firearms from Verney-Carron

[Red Leg]

Have not seen the big pic.
Yes,a S+B scope.
S+B is more liked as Swaro here.
No difference in quality, but S+B has the most beautiful shapes.

This rifle has a factory wedge adjustment. However, it was apparently maxed out When regulated to achieve the fifty yard target. Relieving it simply exacerbates the separation problem at 100 meters. I suspect JJ can sort out the regulation, but I need a load that is accurate from both barrels and reasonably close together.

Yes, the straight tube scopes are ideal for doubles and this particular S&B is superb.

Didn’t take one - besides, would have needed a wide angle lens. OK, maybe not that bad. I’ll sort it out this spring.

I just wanted to see where the barrels were shooting.
I have a similar (vertical, not horizontal) problem with my double.
The lower barrel shoots too high.
Correct this with a weaker charge and mark the cartridge that has to go into the lower barrel .
Doubles may be bitchy .

Any updates? Kinda curious about it.

 

[Red Leg]

Nope - haven't started to mess with it again yet. I have a couple of other 9.3x74R's that are much better behaved so there is no real urgency. If none of the next group of loads work, I'll find the one that both barrels like, however far apart they may be, and send it to JJ Perodeau for regulation.

For those who have purchased a double rifle from VC, how much customization is allowed? Has anyone opted for some custom features on their VC? If so, how much did that set you back?

I am thinking it would be nice if they could put a splinter forend and round-knob Prince of Wales grip on that round body action with some 28" barrels...

 

[Tanks]

My impression is that they will build whatever you wish within reason. Call Ken Buch (USA distributor) to find out. DM me for the number if you don't have it, seeing that web rules do not allow posting of phone numbers.

So VC is now offering a 700 Nitro - Wonder what that little puppy will set one back? And yes, I know, if I have to ask, I probably can't afford it.

VC doubles is becoming quite popular here in South Africa and I know a fair amount of acquaintance who own some and a one who owns a whole range.

Question I have and I have sent VC an email about it a while back with no responce do you work with old pressure maximums or can the new doubles be pushed beyond traditional pressures??
As these days the cases are stronger I was thinking the actions might be too and extra speed could be acquired with reloading and regulating?

That seems like a good deal for a nice looking double. If I didn’t have one in the same caliber I would consider purchasing it. I have been happy with my Azur Imperial. She is a shooter as well as a looker.

The brand's 200-year anniversary limited series. A great success for this woodcock. Limited to 200 copies.

I had a strong interest in an available Imperial, everything's on hold however here. It's good to hear positive feedback regardless!
