As a shooter of doubles - Example my 26 year old Heym 470- hundreds and hundreds of rounds fired. locks up tight like the day it came off the production line. 4 shots into a playing card at 50 yards off a sandbag. Doesn't matter if hot barrels, cold barrels, windy, rain whatever - such a heavy...

Well written sir. Couldn’t agree more. A DG rifle is more than a tool. It’s a functioning piece of artwork - something personal / astute and deadly ✅✅

very well written sir.

Artesian water buffalo of mine taken with a 9.3x74r double rifle. No problems. Using woodleigh Hydros. Through and through. I don’t shoot that many. If you were regularly guiding or something like that a lot of guys use the .404 Jeffery.

I've read AH threads for a long time and thought I'd sign up. A wealth of good information out there. I've been to South Africa this year that was most enjoyable. I'm fortunate enough to regularly (at least 2 weekends per month) hunt deer type species here in Australia. Dan R.
