In for a penny in for a pound I guess. I had been on the hunt for a double for a while having pm’d a few members here for advice I ended up with 2. The first is a heym 88B it was originally a 458wm that was converted and regulated by JJ to 450NE and Hornady DGX. I have always wanted a 450NE. I for what ever reason always gravitate to less common calibers. Well during my research I had stumbled across another rifle a francotte box lock in 470 regulated with federal bearclaws. It was being sold by its orginal owner Mark the man behind big bore production hunting show dvds in the early 2000s. In fact this rifle was featured in death by double rifle and several of his other shows. I was drawn to it as it was probably as close to a best rifle as I’ll ever get. I like the hand engraving, extended to tang and fantastic wood. It will be interesting to see which one I like better in the long run they feel very different in the hand.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!
