Verney Carron Double Rifles

I have a VC Imperial RB in 450NE and am quite pleased with it. The fit and finish are great and it locks up tight. To top it off it’s quite accurate as well.

i think I have posted these pictures previously on another thread but here they are.

Do any of you own or have experience with Verney Carron double rifles. Just looking for a background on them. Pros and cons associated with their doubles. A double could be a possibility this year.
Talk to Ken Bush, he has a mountain of knowledge on VC and other.
 
I just got back from the range with my V/C 500ne. It never fails to bring a smile and draw some attention.
I'd like to ask, understand if it's discreet .. However, if it's Case colored or a grey receiver?
There's something to those round body's imo, that are unique unto themselves.
 
I don't mind sharing. I love this gun. It was case colored but has been carried a LOT so it has a good amount of finish wear at receiver and front of barrels but I love that too. It's a real working rifle.

I've noticed (not only VC's) but High end listings "Sold/Sale Pending".
Kebco had some beautiful 450/400's recently on GI @ 20% that are gone, including that Prechtl 416.

Australia's distributer has one .600 Looking forward to Mr. Lombardi's imports soon ..

Hi EGS

I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
