I just bought my first double rifle. A Simson in 7x65R. It’s not much to look at at the moment but I hope to take care of the cosmetic stuff soon. Nothing special but I was assured by the seller, whom I have absolute confidence in, that it’s a solid, mechanically sound rifle. Can’t wait to shoot it!

Congratulations! Should be fun to shoot.
 
Congrats on the Simson . I have one and am very pleased with it. Mine is a .405.

I actually find it quite an attractive and harmonious piece. Great rifle in a great caliber. Congrats!

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
