I always wanted a Big Bore by Sterling Davenport - a 500 Jeffery custom

[AZDAVE]

Well if you had any loose filling you would know it after 4 700NE shots. Nice work.

The recoil of my 500 Jeffery is nothing compared to the recoil of my 475 A&M or my 600 NE.
I also have a 700 NE double rifle that puts both the others to shame.

475 A&M Mag - the ultimate CANNON for Hunting African Dangerous Game

Hello All,

I'm posting this here also in the hopes that I might find someone that can provide some history on the A&M Rifle Company.

I found this beauty on the Internet. When when it arrived I was absolutely thrilled to see what I purchased.

It was listed as an; "Atkinson & Marquart Mauser .475 A&M Magnum" with the description; "...a Custom Gun built by A&M.....Fancy hardwood stock.....Oak leaf and acorn Basket Weave Carved..... w/ rosewood Pistol Grip and Forearm....." etc., etc.

And here is what I...

Thread 'My New Verney Carron 600 NE has arrived'

Sep 19, 2015

Hello All,

By request, I've posted this here also.

Well, after playing around with a dozen Double Rifles, and near as many Big-Bore Bolt Rifles, I finally stepped up - into the World of the 600 Nitro Express.

A Verney Carron Custom Shop XA Azur, with lots of Whistles and Bells. If you're going to go for it - you might as well get what you want.

And ........... it finally arrived.

After getting it home, I sat under the reading light with my magnifying glass, and just looked at for an hour. Every time I turned it, I saw some detail that I had missed.

I tried to show all the special...

see the video here -

The .475 A&M was admittedly one that I was scared of. A year or so ago I had somebody offer me one at an unbelievable price. I passed. . If rusty memory serves me right, the third rifle (or something like that) failed and injured somebody. Kind of like horses; if one scares you, don’t screw with it. . I still don’t trust blue-eyed paints either. .

I have come accustom to very heavy recoil.
To offset that - I had a custom rifle built that has NEGATIVE RECOIL.

A Special Custom Double Rifle to Hunt Rare Dangerous Game in Wisconsin, USA

Hello All,

Most of you have probably never seen these rare Dangerous Animals before. Well, they have infiltrated the suburbs here in Wisconsin. It is believed they mutated by drinking the discharge water from one of our Nuclear Power Plants. Subsequent in-breeding has further altered their ravenous behavior to the point that unprovoked attacks on animals and people have become an all to often serious occurrence.

Here are a few pictures of various mutations of the vicious WISCONSIN...

Can I see a photo of your 600 .. I've exploited the VC 577 here enough ..

a 9lb 500J @ 7000ft.lbs can be difficult to be proficient,

Thank you, I remember that all too well! .. beautiful machine!

Yes, I love that one. It was my first NEW purchased double rifle. I sold 55 guns from my collection to raise the money to buy that VC 600NE in 2015. I sold it in 2017 because it was up-staged by my 700NE. ..... But, I actually bought it TWICE. ... I bought it back 5 years later in 2022 .... see the link below ........

Very Seldom do we get a DO-OVER - I bought back my Verney Carron Custom Shop XA Azur 600NE​

I remember that post. The opportunity to buy back which was once sold, is a rarity.
The days of VC's Big big bores have become history .. economic downfall here & Europe. Built during the Jerome years.
