Jorge, for $80K, you can put your initials on it. Or for 1/10th that, you can buy my Krieghoff! :-)

Not wanting to steal your thread, but who is Nigella Lawson?

Looks like she cooks and eats, too I nearly bought a Westley Richard .500 for $3295.00 once. Then I considered having to hire Bob, and asked the question a 2nd time, "Are you sure that's the right price?" It finally penetrated the salesman's head that decimal was one place off on the price tag.

I told my wife if Nigella ever offered it up, she goes on the auction block...

Nice rifle, what caliber? A double rifle is on my bucket list, unfortunately that bucket will probably be kicked over before the rifle ever comes.

Anyone have any experience with Heym doubles? I saw a pre war one listed which was very nicely engraved. Caliber was 405 Win.

Jorge,
You already have a pretty wife.
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!
There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

And there are "Best Quality" British Doubles, nothing comes close... I certainly agree that today Wesley Richards is the best gun builder in England. About Twenty years ago I talked a good friend ( with a lot more income than me) into buying a very nice gold name WR droplock double in 425 for $3500 and about ten years ago helped his sell it for $8500. I shot it a few time and wished I had purchased it.

Beautiful double. Above my pay grade though.
On the other hand. When you're my age a good cook is about as good as it gets.
I prefer classic.

My first wife was a looker. When she died of cancer, it was time for a cooker. Now I'm gaining weight I didn't need but it's nice.
