For me, the lost gun deal was in the 80's. I was in Billy Hodges emporium in Dallas and was shown a double rifle in 465 cal. for $5000 out the door. An engraved Manton, I recall with near perfect case color and condition. And it wasn't the only deal, since Kynoch had discontinued ammo and owners lamented.
Two guns I shouldn't have let go: one Greener princeps, and a double 9.3x74 rifle with Kersten locks...sigh.
 
Geesesh...A bunch of S&W handguns, back when they were practically being given away. A Ruger number one in 458WM and Blackhawk in 357 most recently.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
