    Any Appetite for a New <$10K Double?

    I think that indeed might be the ticket, a plains Jane but otherwise good quality double rifle sub 10000$ in 375H&H might make it viable for a lot of PH’s that just can’t get a double out of their mind, but want something that will not eat too much into their savings and is easy to feed...
