Hierarchy Of Double Rifles - Where does the Verney-Carron Fit In?

That’s not true lol. VCs are nice rifles. They are not on par with a Heym 89b. And they are not on par with any of the English firms. They just went out of business lol. Are they nicer than a Sabatti or Merkel or chapuis? Yes. Heym or the English makers? Absolutely not. Which is why they’re half the price.

Hope he posts a pic of how that 2600fps load regulates!

Sorry 2650 FPS HAHAHAHAHAHA this just gets better and better. “IT HAS THREE LUGS” That’s like saying your dog is better because it has 3 testicles hahaha. Wow.

Hi there,
The Verney-Carron is by far a much better built custom double. they have triple under lugs with 2 locking point on each vs only 2 on the other guns. Thus the VC is many many times stronger action, regulation is much better too. You can shoot the VC for a lifetime and never hurt it. I have a custom VC in 450 No.2 and is about the most powerful double round available. Case size is larger than a 460 Weatherby, so operates at lower pressure. Can load 500gr Barnes TSX from 2150 to 2650fps with no signs of pressure. Recoil at the 2650fps is very harsh in my 12.5lb gun. At 2250 fps it is smooth as glass and groups perfect at 3/4" inch apart at 100yds.
Also have a VC in 375 RVC. This case is larger than the 378 Weatherby. So same deal... low pressure and amazing performance. Shoots end to end thru dangerous game.

So that .450 no.2 is more powerful than a .470, .500, .577, .600, .700? Got it. Hey what’s your instagram name? It isn’t Frenchie by chance is it?
