Finally bit the bullet

Congratulations on the new addition! Hope she brings many good memories.

Does your wife have a sister? Very nice rifle! I have never had any woman coerce a firearm purchase on me although I have no problem justifying another one myself. I could probably get used to it though! Lol
Cheers,
Cody
 
Congrats. That is the ne beautiful rifle.
 
Congrats on the new double sir!
 
Welcome to the fold and may I say that is one sexy rifle. Ive always had a thing for round action firearms its just a shame VC dont have a importer in the UK
 
Use it well and safely.
 
Congrats on a beautiful double, i do like the looks of a verney-carron. I have a nice o/u in 12 gauge by them .... now if i can only convince my wife with regards to a double rifle!
 
Officially joined the club last week by bring my Double home! I too had an encouraging wife and she took care of providing a classic case to store and take the new baby to the range with.
Gotta keep the wives that understand a man and a gun.
 
You are a fortunate man in numerous regards!

Now you need to talk Kobus at Rhino Bullets into making you a stash of 400 grain solid shank bonded bullets!

The rifle is beautiful, 450/400 Nitro is a classic, and you wife is certainly a keeper!
 
Congrats! It's a beautiful rifle!
 
Great make and caliber. You made a wise choice in gun and woman. Keep both
 
lol Thanks for the good words Gents! and nope, she doesn't have a sister unfortunately.
I do hope she keeps her pose with the new developments :)

Let me start by saying gun shops are trap falls!
Two weeks ago I decided to check in at the store just to curb my excitement and hold the little beauty once more in my hands while I wait for my licence.
Well, waiting for the salesman to collect the 450/400 from the safe, I took a stroll & had a look at the rest of the homeless DR's on display... bad Idea!
I should have walked the other way, but I didn't.

A little concerned about the recoil, the salesman organized a quick shoot at the local range with his own rifle that same afternoon. Needless to say, the identical twin but in .470 adopted me right there & then & will be coming home with her little sister when the licence is approved!

Any good ideas for Valentines? :whistle::love: :ROFLMAO:

Oh nice! Now you just need a gunbearer, "pass the .470 for this one he looks a bit mean"
 
I was thinking more along the lines of: its a reason to do two or more different hunts :-)

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
