Rich,
dont tell my buddies but I am a sucker for those guns. I would even admit to wearing a tweed coat to get to shoot a pair with a loader passing them to you on a good drive.

Not a bad car either but I cant see it making it into the mud holes I like to hunt.

And she might need a deeper pair of Wellingtons for those spots......
 
Just once I'd like to try a shoot where I would need a matching pair of doubles and a loader.....

Anybody know what that white powder they were sprinkling on the barreled actions? The shot was short but it seemed to catch fire. Any idea of the purpose for doing so?

John,

My best guess is that the powder is a type of flux. Flux is applied to the hot metal just prior to the silver solder. The flux helps clean the hot metal and also to prevent further oxidation during the soldering operation.

Makes me glad I live here, where hunting is available to the unwashed masses who can afford a $200 used 870 and a $50 license and stamp.

I guess I'd like to shoot a Holland and Holland some day, but I'd greatly prefer a nice old Parker or an early Model 12 that's still going strong.
 
Love the hand craftsmanship and I bet those doubles would be fantastic to shoot But the "I'm super rich and better than you" vibe I get from that vid makes me cringe.
 
The only thing I would really like is the cannon. I could use that the next 4th of July.

It would also make one heck of a punt gun. Might have to use Phil's Honker for the punt boat. What about it Phil, can we borrow your boat?

Just a weeeeeee bit more classy than a Bass Pro Shops "after holiday tent BLOWOUT sale commercial." Didn't see one person in camo "crocs", "if it flies it dies" bumper sticker on a mud covered 4x4, or someone picking out a wedgie. Nice guns, but I like mine because they still work after I use them as an oar on occasion.

Thats funny Pete...I was thinking the same thing.

Lobbing cannon balls into the cornfield down the road might be more fun than I (or the farmer) can stand.
 
Eric,

Mike and I went to the SxS shoot in Suamico (I think it's Memorial Day weekend) a couple years ago. One of the guys shooting just in front of us had a hand cart with a H&H Royal in it - I never got up the nerve to ask to shoot it. He and his buddy also had a couple guns of lesser quality - but not by much. All in all some very fine example of side by sides that day. I think the guy was from Green Bay.
 
I can't help myself--I hope that if they were keeping score, someone with an old Stevens cleaned their clock! LOL.

I'm still trying to fathom what it would be like to have $130,000 in disposable income, and decide that a new shotgun was the best thing one could do with it.
 
Actually Jeff, the organizers said there was a case of RST shells in 2 1/2" 12 ga. for the person with the highest combined score. Most of the guys shooting the classy guns didn't even keep score but "I" did. What the heck, right? Someone was going to take home those shells - and it was me. I was shooting a SKB 385 Sporting Clays in 20 ga.
