The rifle is shown in the Demas catalog so it actually is a Demas DR. Demas Catalog - 2006

It is listed on my order form as "AZUR Eloge Grand Luxe Special".

It was made to order. I sent them stock measurements and specified the stock shape, checkering, cheek piece, and leather covered pad. I specified that I wanted the base rifle to be the 7x65r with a second pair of 9.3x74r barrels. I ordered both barrels with automatic ejectors, WITHOUT the euro plastic front sights, and chose the barrel lengths. I specified traditional style 1 standing and 2 folding on the 7x65r with addition of EAW scope mounts. I ordered the 9.3x74r with 1 standing and 2 folding sights and the addition of a flip up night sight on the front. I specified the style of "moustache" reinforcement on the action. I ordered the long tang, double triggers instead of single, "pierced" lever, and engraved pistol grip cap with trapdoor.

I told Verney-Carron that I did not want European animals, especially a red deer with its head back and mouth open (yuk). The order form reads, "Special engraving : blacktail deer, wapiti mouth closed, Rocky mountain goat." At their request, I sent them photographs of the three USA animals and they reproduced them perfectly. The blacktail deer is on the underside. It's not a very good picture but here it is anyway.

They were very accommodating and will probably do anything within reason.

I just received the rifle after a 14 month wait. When I ordered the rifle I specified the ammunition that I wanted it regulated with. Some Norma ammo is on order and, once received, we'll see. However, I do not doubt the authenticity of the regulation targets.
