Hunting Elephant with Verney-Carron Double Rifle

Very nice thank you for sharing.
 
Xlint story. Thanks for sharing.
 
Jerome, you need to put wheels on that rifle, it's much more like artillery.....very friggen beautiful artillery!

.
 
Really wants to make you go ellie hunting!
 
A gun carriage would indeed be an excellent idea. I love doubles and I love my VC 9.3x74r, but can’t imagine dragging around something the size of a crew-served weapon! (n)
 
I had the immeasurable pleasure of meeting Jerome several years ago.

His quote was eye watering, but I will get there eventually.
 
great video!

I met Jerome a couple years back in Las Vegas, he was an absolute pleasure to talk to and his rifles are top notch. some day when I have the money I will have VC build me a 577 NE.

I always spend an hour with Jerome at DSC. Although I do not own a Verney-Caron he will spend time talking doubles with you and always a highlight to my trip there. His exuberance and love of his rifles is contagious. You will love spending time with him.
 
I had always coveted the 450/400 PH round body double on the pegs at Safari and Outdoor in Johannesburg. A truly beautiful double and i must have handled it 15 times. Case hardened colours, a fully figured stock with tons of character. Alas, i just couldn't afford it. Then Jerome emailed me, “why not consider an O/U double, I have one in Johannesburg?”. What a beauty it turned out to be, also case hardened colours and a nice walnut stock. 375 Flanged Magnum. Half the price, so I bought it. Since then i have grown more and more fond of the O/U idea, it is so logical. Yet to fire a round through it though, but watch this space.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
