No frills double

[Longrifle]

I don’t know much about double rifles other than I want to own one at some point in my life.

I want a no frills, not fancy, working man’s double. I know they are still pricey but I don’t want to pay for anything ornamental. I am unsure on a caliber but it will compliment a 375 ruger and 458 Lott. It has to be capable of accepting an RMR.

What options would I have and what are the going rates for them?

SoVa-I have an excellent DR I am will to part with and it would include dies, brass, some factory loads (Hornady), Extreme Ammunition loads by Lance Hendrshot (A-Frames & Barnes solids), 50-Swift A-Frame bullets, and RMR mount by JJ Perodeau. JJ has installed a mercury recoil reducer and milled the rib to accept his RMR mount. Rifle is rock solid. Made in 1956 by Fabrique d’Armies Unies de Leige. It is known as a guild gun. Neutral cast good for righties or lefties. I just purchased my ‘Grail’ gun (Rigby 450 NE) so I no longer need this one.

See the rifle in action here-

I live in VA as well. If interested, DM me. I. would also be willing to let you shoot it first before negotiating purchase.

If anyone else is interested; Will trade for Rigby Highland Stalker in .275 Rigby or .30-06.

These posts always scare me a bit. Sure everyone wants a Double and does not want to break the bank. This is understandable. We just had a post with one of the cheaper doubles not closing for some reason. My point is that if it is to be a DG rifle it has to function 100% correctly. The aforementioned advice to take any new or used double to JJ would certainly give the needed piece of mind.
