Hello all!

Been a hunter/shooter since I was seven and a reloader since my early 20's. I've never owned a double and have decided it's time I did! The English doubles are beyond my financial reach but I have seen some Chapuis, Merkel, and Heyms available in .470 NE that are affordable. The only reasonable way to purchase for me is to buy the gun via the internet shopping as opposed to being able to shoot/compare them. The dealers within a reasonable distance that "carry" the brands I mentioned don't actually have any available to "test."

I've been reading extensively and this is an outstanding resource for an aspiring double owner!!!!
 
:S Welcome:
 
Good day! Welcome to AH!
 
Welcome to AH MexicoMike!
 
Welcome aboard!
 
Welcome to AH!!
 
Welcome MM! I'm trying to justify a reasonable double as well; actually, I can't justify one, but I still enjoy the chase. Good luck in your search!

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?
