New Double Rifle Build

[cmk]

Voted for the bottom option. It would of course be good to see the pieces of wood from both sides.

Don't really know, but isn't there a greater risk to discover voids and cracks in burl wood?

@Aussie_Hunter : Opinions can cause more confusion.

Whichever you prefer is all that matters anyway, It will be beautiful!

I really like this rifle . Splinter fore end very traditional . Wood grain is straight through the pistol grip so a strong stock for a very big rifle .

Regarding photo of 2 rifles is the upper one a sidelock or side plates ? A sidelock would be amazing - a sideplated heavy rifle no way . Too much wood removed . I do like VC double rifles . Even better the Australian distributor lives just up the road !

Oops. a great individual, stunning 500! He took the time to show how to build or recreate those acrylic stands, VC/Display stateside or abroad.

Side plates. "Eloge"
3rd from the top .. He's a great person to network with, I would've enjoyed working with him.

Would not sidelocks remove more wood than sideplates?

Pretty VC rifles but have heard about quality issues and a lack of support from the company when this occurred. Takes them out of the equation for me to consider.

@PCC600 a Side Plated 500 was 11lbs.

Top looks good to me. But bottom is probably stronger wood with the grain running appropriately.

Some have shared bad experiences, where they eventually came to an amicable agreement.
But names are becoming hard to much faith in regardless. The shared problems with Sako, Merkel, etc. idk.

They seem to be sold & used around the world, but I understand. Krieghoff, ie. The dealer, the PA factory are super receptive for anything .. your not comfortable with, asap.
