Gun Porn - New Double Rifle

[Chris]

Well, it's finally here. Took almost a year and a half but I have my new double rifle in my hot little hands. She's a bespoke double built specifically for me by L'Atelier Verney Carron. Azur model in .450-400 Nitro Express. She handles like a dream. I can close my eyes and shoulder the rifle... when I open them the sights are perfectly aligned. The balance on this thing is unbelievable and makes this 9.6lb rifle feel much lighter than it is. Of course all this quality comes at a steep price... this is by far the most expensive weapon I've ever purchased and the only way I pulled it off is with the help of TGO. I joke that in order to afford her I had to sell every gun I own that doesn't have a name and while that's an exaggeration it's only because I don't name my handguns. So, if you've bought a gun from me in the last year and a half... thank you... you helped pay for this bad girl. Oleg Volk did a photo shoot with her and you'll find some of the photos below. These are unretouched studio shots so there are a few studio artifacts that will be removed before they are published, but I just couldn't wait to show her off.

Enjoy and thanks again to everyone who helped me make this happen.

That's gorgeous.

That is beautiful gun, I don't think I have seen a better piece. I think you made the right choice by selling the others for that.

Man...

That's awesome! Congrats.

[Hozzie]

I don't get impressed by much these days, but that is impressive.

I am sure it will be put to good use.

Congrats.

Wow, that thing is beautiful!

[xtriggerman]

That's a lot of old world hand fit craftsmanship for sure! And I like your choice of optic. That low power Kahles is perfect for a dangerous game gun like that. Just about see the western & eastern horizons in the same picture.
Good Luck with her!

Congratulations! That's a beautiful rifle. Thank you for sharing it with us. Are you going to take it to Africa?

[MP5_Rizzo]

I hope you have plans that include Africa in your future!

[R1100R]

All I can say is "Wow". I'm envious.

[BrasilNuts]

So what are your intentions with that deadly work of art?

[Chris]

I'll test her out on a Cape Buffalo in June. Caprivi strip in Namibia... hunting the flood plains of the Chobe River. Some really big herds there... looking for an old dagga boy. Can't wait!

[TripleGGG]

I will repeat a word earlier. Impressive.

[Chris]

Here's a really cool video showing how they make them...

[hipower]

Lord, that is one beautiful weapon!

[KahrMan]

That beauty is a work of art. You are going to have to bring her to the next SCI get together.

That's not a rifle, that's a supreme piece of fine art! The amount of labor, dedication and excellence of craftsmanship in that rifle is priceless.

[Possumslayer]

Beautiful!
How many man hours do they have in something like that?

[K191145]

Beautiful rifle. I heard that one reason they are so pricey is because when being made they have to go through a long a tedious process of shooting, separating and tweaking the barrels many many times to get both perfectly aligned. Good defense for that charging elephant also.

[Handsome Rob]

The quantity of my admiration is only surpassed by the rigidity of my tumescence.

That's one of THE most beautiful doubles I've ever seen!

[Garufa]

Absolutely amazing.

[zgunbear]

My dream caliber and rifle. There is something about a double rifle. Anytime I shoot mine at the range always have people asking about it.
