What something was sold for years ago may or may not have a bearing on what it sells for today. Is my Chaupis DR still worth $7K because that is what I paid for it ~15 years ago or, is it worth the $5K~6K they generally sell for today? Like some of my custom knives that I bought for ~$300...

Those Fausti DR's look interesting! Thanks!

I own 2 375H&H's and really need to sell one of them. I also own 416 Rigby that needs the AHR treatment or a new owner but, friends always ask about it so it still hangs around. Then there is the 470NE and the 458Lott. The 458Lott is a bit of the red-headed stepchild but, it does make a good...

I like large diameter bullets! Classic calibers to me "seem" to recoil with more of a shove than the kick of the new trendy whizz bangs which is easier on my shoulder and back. Looking back through history, the 404 Jeffery was a solid working man's caliber. Unfortunately, the 416 Rigby was the...

Gunbroker is pretty thin right now. I was hoping I would find someone wanting to trade Grandpa's DR for a new 'assault rifle or pistol. Usually in times past, finding a few on Guns International was generally easy for reasonable prices in the 7mm calibers with .30's being few and far between.

$6700USD without taxes.

Yes, I'm looking at an Angelo Zoli Double Rifle on-line in 308 Winchester for ~$3500USD. I'm a little hesitant to get a beltless and rimless DR but, this one looks interesting to me. I'm still thinking about a French 30-30 but, it looks like a 303 Brit might be a little better option for me...

That 30-06 rifle and a 308W are both options I've been considering Guns International along with a V-C O/U rifle.

Yes, a bit spendy for me right now. If I was shopping in the mid-teens, I'd be looking at a Heym or V-C. I know V-C doesn't get much love on this forum but, the one I have is really nice. With French O/U options running $4K in the calibers I'm interested in, I'd be hard-pressed to spend ~$14K...

Yes, that's where it caught my attention while looking for something else initially.

Where should one be looking for a SxS double rifle in a 7mm or .30 caliber rifle that isn't an expensive new build? I'm not really interested in a new Chapuis even though companies like Larkin and Moore generally stock double barrel set new builds in the $13K~14K range. I'm really thinking...

Yes, a .303 Brit is a good option for many in the EU but, a 30-30 is more widely available where I live in the USA. I can find 30-30 at places like Wal-Mart (at least prior to the current craziness) pretty easily but, 303 is a lot harder to find but it is easier to locate than my other classic...

He's my source for French rifles! When I was in the market a few years back, he was tops and I was fitted at the Dallas Safari Convention. I'm tempted to give it a go one more time for something like a 30-30 or similar that would see a lot more use than a heavy-hitting African caliber though...

Bummer! Did your delivery date slip? In my case, I always want to "brush up my skills" before I travel somewhere where I need to shoot well, whether targets or game.

Biden's executive orders are apparently trying to emulate him. A Border Patrol offensive to arrest and deport illegals for sex crimes has been stopped. Deportations for DUI's and drug crimes have also apparently been stopped. So far, no $2,000 hotel prison stay requirement though. I hope he...
