If it turns out too late I will put them on the shelf for a bit to see what happens. It is unlikely I will buy another Double Rifle anytime soon.

My short term and mid term projects involve developing accurate regulated loads for the Double Rifle, procure all correct case tools and Huey Case for it. For the DR's two shotgun cousins, 16 & 12 ga SLEs (all three are made by Jules Bury and a engraved by Schoffeniels) all the case tools, Huey Case, and properly engraved RMC cases.

Long term I want to find a way to put a new set of 20 gauge and an additional set of 16 gauge barrels on my 16 SLE and an additional 410 set of barrels on my DR, but that is long time and many many dollars away if ever. (Besides I may get lucky enough near matching engraved gun by Schoffeniels in 20 gauge one day - I am sure there is likely one out there somewhere - and it is the only thing that could tempt me right now to break my no additional gun vow).

Most importantly more than all the toys to go with the guns my chief goal is to spend time and energy hunting the guns I have. I believe it is more important to simply hunt well than have pretty toys.

this thread is moving away from its base subject of shoot a 10.75x52r Springer DR. I will start another when I get my next round of shooting done
