Vikram, Max Ern probably is the best gunmaker in germany and one of the very best in Europe, if not worldwide. You find some examples on my blog: http://www.hunting-heritage.com/blog/index.php/2016/04/29/fine-double-rifles-of-max-ern/Will make another article about his latest Double Rifle, a wonderful round action in .470. Price of this one is about 100 000 EURO. You can get a bolt action Mauser rifle for 15 000 at least. A wonderful single barrel Kipplauf, the best I`ve ever seen is available for about 40 000 EUR and I tell you, it's worth each cent. Cheers, Gunwolf Gunwolf, Many thanks for your inputs. In fact, I have seen your blog on these guns and the photographs there. Would you believe if I say that the photos on your blog contributed to asking this question? Best regards- Vikram

We were next to Max and family at SCI and I have to say, I haven't been so impressed with newly built rifles at SCI in many years. Max and Max jr are technically proficient and instead of merely copying the same designs or trying to reinvent the wheel, they look at the best existing designs and how to improve them. Besides the design, the craftsmanship is top flight and the finishing is equal, if not better than any Best makers I observed there. Note that my interest is more in pre-war British rifles but the Erns' work truly gained my interest and admiration. The fact that they are such lovely people doubled my interest.

Just a follow-up on pretty much the same thoughts as I spent some time w/ the Max Erns @ the DSC in Atlanta, which was pretty much a Big Flop, hopefully just due to weather. But on his Kipplauf, Max Ern has taken then Jäger protruding lockup to another level with his new friction addition, not spring loaded. I will try to find it on his website.
Serbus,

He’s had a Kipplauf single shot in-the-white for the past few years at the shows. The craftsmanship in that gun is absolutely phenomenal, the best I have seen. And there’s no hiding anything.
