Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only Info on double rifles.

Liled,

I own an A&S Farmars sidelock. I bought it a couple of months ago and haven't done much shooting with it yet. Mine is in 375H&H and weighs 8.5lbs. Very pretty rifle with excellent fit and finish. Excellent sights. Excellent balance and handling.

I'll be adding a set of mounts, a leather pad and sling eyes and getting it sorted for a safari this coming season.

I'm not afraid of the higher pressure rimless rounds in doubles like some are. My elephant rifle is a Marcel Thys sidelock in 458wm. 800 rounds, 11 elephants, 4 cape buffalo, 1 zebra, 1 klipspringer and 1 baboon mercy killing, no problems.

And I've been elephant hunting with barrowed 458wm ammo which is ubiquitous, as is 375H&H.
