Dream rifle

[gizmo]

Ok, so with all the gun talk lately, what is your top 3 dream rifles? I just checked the #3 spot off my list with my new 375 H&H. #2 would be a V-C double chambered in something like 450/400. #1 would be a H&H double chambered in the 450 to 470 NE variety.

Westley Richards .375 H&H with a 450/400 extra barrel. Not much besides some wing shooting you couldn't bag. Then to have a work of art to show case in the trophy room. Classic Safari weapons.

Nice, that would be a beaut!

#1
A takedown with barrels in 300h&h 375 h&h built by h&h on a double square bridge action.

#2
Add a 500NE sidelock double built by any of the old English high end gun makers and we are almost there.

#3
A s/s cal 16/20 sidelock shotgun made by the same old English gunmaker and we are there!

You have fine taste sir

 

[Timt]

Thank you, sadly it's also a way too expensive taste for my wallet

 

[Timt]

Oh, forgot to add that they all have to be LH rifles!

I know the feeling. I've actually knocked off almost all of my list of dream guns except for the #1 and 2. Short of winning the lottery I don't see me ever being able to afford either.
As far as the backwards rifles are concerned I guess I can let it slide this time.

So are you a backwards person too, ya know they used to burn people at the stake back in the 15th and 16th century for that kinda thing.

Heym or H&H in 470NE.

Gizmo mine would be the Merkel side by side in 500 NE that was at the Kansas City Cabelas. What a sweet gun but the price tag of $10999 was to high to bite on!

 

[Red Leg]

Holland & Holand Royal in .500/.416; Rigby Rizing Bite in anything; and a Tod Ramierez .300 H&H.

 

[CAustin]

Correction on my last post I think that rifle was a 470 NE

 

[spike.t]

gizmo i had one of mine but for some reason i sold it.....its the subject of a thread that i put on here, and on which some took great pleaure in questioning my sanity which was totally justified i have my other dream ones so they dont apply, but this is as i dont have it anymore is in the dream category............ here is the link to the auction house were the person i presume bought it from me put it up for sale......http://auctions.holtsauctioneers.com/asp/fullcatalogue.asp?salelot=A0614 1211 &refno= 78290
