I'm interested in a Gamba double rifle , .375 H&H
There are two distinct reasons for this...
First is, I'm awash in ammo and components for this caliber. I believe that this caliber is sufficient for my foreseeable needs, both stateside and abroad.
Second, around thirty years ago while in the gun biz, my wife and were visiting Gardone Val Trompia, me working, she visiting. One afternoon we wandered into the Gamba factory/showroom on a whim. The Gamba's treated us like royalty, and we spent quite some time in both the show/fitting room and the factory floor.
At that time, it was clear to me that they were bringing in barrels and actions in the rough, from outside foundry's and barrel houses. I believe most of the smaller makers at that time were following this business model. There were bolt rifles in process at that time also, however I cannot recall what they looked like.
The walls of the showroom were lined with customer pictures including Pres Bush, (the elder) and countless celebrities etc....
The quality at that that time, was undeniable.
Now, I'm well aware that you get what you pay for, that a Heym is better, faster, stronger, and all the other "Double Rifle Known Facts".
I'm simply looking for any useful feedback you might think relevant.....
