That's quite beautiful. I'm sure it would be double the performance of my little, as that's a 400/360, and would be shooting 300grs or I believe slightly more, at 1950fps, vs 200ish grs at 1650fps for my pre-nitro 360 2.25". Between the extra velocity and the scope, I'd be more confident with...

Yes, the Watson is pretty accurate. It really likes 185gr Lapua .365 jacketed bullets, but those are not hunting bullets and are usually out of stock. I've got a target next to me at the moment with 6 shots in 1.75" at 35 yards, hitting at POA. The paper patched 190gr LRN bullets are almost as...

Here are a few more pics of the 360 2.25" Watson Bros

My most accurate double is a 8x57R in .318 by Merkel. Made in 1931. Beautiful wood and engraving. It was retailed by Weisgerber, as was another of my DRs, a 9.3x72R made before standardization (so you must wrap tape around the cases before resizing for the first time so that the midsection gets...

Congrats Steve! Great looking deer and a beautiful rifle. Can't do better than that!

Congrats on the 360 A&N. I almost bought that rifle before you did, since the 360 2.25" did well for me on a big northern whitetail using a Watson Brothers double rifle.

Lots of great advice above, from folks with way more experience than me. I’ll share the route I took and why, as well as some of the pitfalls I’ve encountered. (This is a long post about buying older doubles at auction.) First off, what you intend to do with the rifle dictates what you need...

Brass arrived today from BertramUSA. Glad that worked out. Not a great experience but at least I have a lifetime supply of 300 Sherwood now.

I heard back from Bertram USA today (7/30) and they provided tracking info, so hopefully will soon have my order from June 16 in hand. Eric from Desert Tech had reached out and seems a good guy to business with. I look forward to buying from Desert Tech in the future when I need Bertram brass.

Hi All. I was reading the thread on this forum titled "Farquharson 450/400" and saw the links provided for the New Zealand firm, Soroka Rifles, that had been making a Farquharson, but with coil springs and an internal redesign to reduce the risk of broken springs and firing pins. Best I can tell...

I'm in the same boat. Ordered on 6/16, received confirmation and my cc was charged. Nothing since then. I've emailed and called without any info. Just emailed again and shared I was disputing charge this week if I don't see shipment info. I feel bad they had to shut their business down. I have...
