Got the bug for a double so here is my first! Verney-Carron 450-400.
Now if I could;d find some ammo.....

Congratulations @flyfishdoc ! There seems to be something in the air, with everyone buying double rifles recently! :D
 
And it looks like factory Recknagel mounts. Lovely rifle. I bet it shoots.
 
Congrats and welcome to the double rifle club
 
Nice! Congrats!
 
Is that an over/under double in 450/400? very unusual! and I don't think I have seen any double rifle with a schnabel fore end.
It's beautiful. Enjoy.
 
Like your rifle, wish mine had the factory Recknagel mounts. It is one of the most accurate double I have ever shot. When you get to the point of needing reloading data send me a PM and I will share what I have developed for mine to give you a starting point.

Hi @fjyfishdoc, what is the weight of your Verney?
 
An awesome looking rifle. Great chambering. Congratulations.
 
@flyfishdoc Have you found ammo for that beautiful piece yet?
 
Beautiful rifle! Congratulations.

I opened this thread thinking I was going to drool over another rifle with the barrels sideways but, lo and behold, yours are correctly arranged. ;-)

I have a Zoli O/U double rifle with a schnabel fore end.
 
Congratulations @flyfishdoc. Perhaps you should change your handle from Flyfishdoc to DRdoc as in double rifle doc!! ;)

I am quite sure you will enjoy it. If you need a reloading data for 450/400 PM me.

Regards,

I have plenty of factory ammo if you are in Alaska. Brass, too, that I can ship out of state but ammo is too expensive to ship out.
