Double addicted

[AjFourie]

There are some really nice doubles coming in at very reasonable prices, for example the Chapuis Iphisi with a rrp of under $10k. I also really like what someone did with this Baikal (sorry for not mentioning you personally whoever this was, I can't find your original post). Even with this fancy stock this would be very affordable I should think.

And what are you planning on mowing down with all those bullets?

it can be worse----you can be addicted to side by side shotguns as well as double rifles

That's a best case scenario--esp. if they are all the same measurement and configuration1

I got it so bad that even my favorite pistol is a double...

Got one of these myself

Wouldn't be though. Shotguns as a rule have a longer barrel and are much lighter. Not to mention most do have straight stock.

Great thread. Let’s see the doubles!

Beautiful pictures gentlemen, I just got the mount in today for my .470 and when the RMR 1 MOA shows up in the mail it’s off to Ken Owen to machine the rail.

Special thanks @Tanks - Your posts about using the RMR in 1 MOA kept me from ordering a 3.5 MOA.

I’m thinking once mounted the 1MOA RMR will help me extend the limits of my .470 and exploit its accuracy.

The best recommendation I can make is to quickly close this thread and then start drinking until you have forgotten about doubles. It is a sickness!

Kevin - I hope you don‘t mind a picture from the range, cluttered up with a bolt gun. Happy to post a few more…

Red tinge in the wood looks so correct in a double, warm and quality.

An absolutely beautiful combination, a 375 Flanged Magnum in a light frame Heym 89b is the epitome of iron fist in a kid glove. Finesse.

Beautiful 318, what are they?

 

[Aussie_Hunter]

I haven't even taken delivery of the Chapuis in 470 I just bought yet and I'm already considering another one but in 375 Flanged, I was talking to the Beretta Australia rep about it today.

It is an addiction, enabled and encouraged by most on AH! Some beautiful rifles posted.
My Chapuis in 9.3x74R waiting for a moose that failed to read the script. Also has a set of barrels in 7x65R

I love the honey colours in that stock. The scope on your double looks just right too. What is the weight of your double without a scope?

The wood is truly beautiful. Weight without the scope is 7lb 12oz. With the Weaver scope it is an ounce shy of 9lb.

Agreed, particularly on vintage guns. 97 years of sitting around certainly provides a nice patina to the wood.

See what you guys did. My no1 didn’t get here and I bought a double. Didn’t spend a ton of money, but may if I like this route. I’m a single shot and bolt guy. We will see.
