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!

Wow, that is sweet!

What a joy!

Beautiful workmanship.

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.

And a very useful caliber here in the USA.

A few more pics.

Holy smokes. I'm living wrong.

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!
