One of our great members twisted my arm until I bought his sweet double rifle. It's a Philipp Reeb clamshell sweetheart in 8X57J with a Voightlander SKOPAR in claw mounts from around 1914 or so. Steve knew my "hot-button" and pushed it, and I'm walking on clouds now. It is so light and well balanced that any deficit I have in my shoulder is minimized. It handles like a fine 28ga quail/snipe SXS. It came complete with all accessories and original case, a rare find for sure.

Wow! I can't believe that took much arm twisting!

The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.
In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek

When they look like that who cares if it's a drilling or not? Stunning.

Holy.!! That's a work of art, disguised as a rifle.

I've known it for years, as have others and, that rifle proves the British are not the only ones who know how to build a double rifle. I reiterate, stunning!
