I went with me three friends who also ordered and got fitted in Oct. We take delivery of 5 Shikari in March.

The most expensive pair of cufflinks you've ever bought

I enjoyed your chat with Marc on the podcast.

Lucky man, I visited Rigby over Thanksgiving and was quoted 5 years for the Shikari.

100% the most expensive pair of cufflinks. I wore them New Year's Eve and had the very same thought.

Glad you enjoyed the podcast.

Anyone have pics to share of their new Shikari?

Folks how does the Shikari fair for durability and strength with the Heym 89b?

Kevin, here is my sincere reply to your question. I saved and bought a Blaser R8 pro as I am left handed. I LOVE a fantastic grade of wood stock, but I hunt and want to hunt as much as I can afford. I am not the target audience for that rifle. I prefer my switch barrel grunt gun. I just want to hunt, meet people and have experiences within my budget.

You should bought an NEF Handi Rifle... you could have hunted even more.

I ordered and received my double rifle years ago so I am out of the loop on the purchasing process.

Do the current makers do initial fitting upon order and then give you the opportunity to shoot the rifle in the white and make adjustments to gun fit,point of aim, balance etc?

Give it 50 or so years and am sure you will get some correct feedback.....

This version on the Pro Tactical Australia Instagram looks really nice, I thought they would look plainer, might this kind of deep carved engraving be some sort of special edition?

This one below also looks really nice, I have seen this version before but only from the side, this is the first picture I found showing how it looks below the action so to say.

I must confess to be much more fond of coin finished rifles then color case hardened ones.

I guess this one below would be the base version? The other ones looks to be more expensive when it comes to engraving.
