MY 3rd VERNEY CARRON DOUBLE RIFLE - 470 NE - GOT THIS A WHILE BACK BUT NEVER POSTED

I got this VC 470 NE but never posted any info about it. I have 2 other VC doubles, an early 475 No.2 NE ....

and a 600 NE. I posted about the 600 NE here .. https://www.africahunting.com/threads/my-new-verney-carron-600-ne-has-arrived.24015/

This one is super cool. I have owned 2 other 470 NEs that since went down the road. Those were a Sabatti and a Merkel. This VC out-classes those two by a long shot.

Here are the specs:

Action is Round Body Professional Hunter w/ Ejectors.
Barrels are 24" w/ Quarter Rib w/ a single Standing Leaf
Length of Pull is 14-3/4"
Weight is a proper 11 pounds 3.6 ounces (loaded)

The rifle is now cased in an All Leather Trunk Case. Field test to follow.

as always your comments are most welcome.

Absolutely beautiful rifle!!!! I must be losing my mind sometimes!!!…I get Searcy and VC mixed up some times knowing they are two entirely separate builders.
