am looking to buy a double.would like something in the 500 n.e. range.any info/leads would be greatly appreciated.

How much do you wish to spend? That will close or open a lot of possibilities.

somewhere in the 4k range.not sure what they are really going for,i know that they can get way up there in price.not sure how low they get.

I just bought a hammergun that needs some work and had to pay $3500 at auction. I look hard for double rifles all of the time. I haven't seen any that are below $3500. And these always need work. The one I bought has a broken hammer and a cracked stock. If you want to talk about what and where phone me at 907 398 9736.

A purpose-built full-nitro .500 that is worth having will cost several multiples of that. If you find one that is fairly priced at $4,000, you don't want it. Nothing worse than a cheap double rifle.

You might be able to sneak up on a used Merkel .500 for $10k or somewhat less. They're about the minimum benchmark that I've found acceptable. The Merkel DRs are serviceable, functional rifles, but certainly don't represent an ideal. I don't pay much attention to them, so I'm guessing a little on current used prices. The Heym PH model is a very plain, "working" rifle of solid quality that is available new at $16,500 and can be ordered stocked to your dimensions. Nice used British rifles in .500 Nitro can be found, but if they're in good enough condition to be desirable at all, they'll be a lot more expensive.

thanks guys,i got a line on a 450 n.e.#2.i'm going to check it out and see how she shoots.custom gun,looks good.
