Holland and Holland Double Rifle

[lgm270]

A nice Holland and Holland Double rifle. I'm new to this type of gun.  They want $100,00 for this gun and I was thinking if this is a good starter's gun to get into this type of shooting.  I was thinking of the .470 NE.

Doing more research and some more  affordable used Holland & Holland  double rifles are avail for much less... this one for $42,000.00.  Much more sensible.   A good value for the money.

Those would make a dandy entry level double rifle! For Sure!

Might stretch my budget a bit.

If only....yes, either would be nice for a novice or an experienced double aficianado.
 
We definitley play in different playgrounds.  My "entry" double, almost 20 years ago, was a $2,000.00 German double from the late 1870's and I made payments on it!!!!

There is nothing "entry level" about any firearm made by H&H.

pick  6 numbers  for me and i will buy both

Well I wouldn't, I don't think I could sleep at night with a 100,000$ gun in the house. I'd be worried something would happen to it.

  If it was mine, it would be MADE FOR ME, and that means it would go hunting with me no matter what/where i hunted or how much it was worth.
 
  That's the way it works around here, buy it, use it!
 
  BTW, how many of you have a $50,000.00 vechile that you leave outside, drive in the rain and cold???  How much will that vechile be worth 10 years from now??

I would be a lot more likely to own a 50K rifle than a 50K vehicle....neither of which will ever happen, but I would spend that much on a rifle long before I'd spend it on a vehicle...for the question you asked at the end.  And, I would be using the rifle too.  Well....IF I had it and IF it could be done I would spend 50K on a late 50's Mercedes 300SL Gullwing.  One stands as good a chance of happening as the other.

spend 50K on a late 50's Mercedes 300SL Gullwing.

One of the iconic cars. You could have bought one back in the early 60's , used of course, for between $5k and $10k.
Nowadays...$50k? The last three that I saw for sale were at 650k, 850k and 1.4mil.
I am frequently surprised at what people decide that they can afford if they really want something. A bespoke DR by H&H, though, like that Gullwing,  is really the stuff of dreams for this fellow.

In 1965 I bought a good used house for $4500.  and several good used winchester 94s for $50 a piece. And life was good.

dark, I know.  I like to follow the classic sports car market too and I belive your prices are spot on.  That's all I can do is follow it!!!  My "claim" to a vintage sports car is an all original 1974 MG-B that is still in remarkably good condition.  80K original miles and still has good compression.....today.  I'm with you, the H&H and Gullwing are dreams.
 
Amazing, ain't it pastor.  My first house was $19,000 brand new in 1974.  'Course it was only about 1200 sq. ft. and no basement but it was ours and our payment was $125.00 a month.  I remember not being able to buy a pre-64 Win. Mod. 70 Featherweight because it was too expensive at $150.00, or 150 acres with no house near my home town that was $18,000.00.   An life was still good!!

I looked at the fact I spent 8000.00 on accessories on my truck, and lost that and the depreciation and the interest on the financing on my truck. I figured I could lose a heck of a lot less on a double rifle, and it wouldn't really matter in the scheme of things, when compared to what we lose driving a vehicle off the lot.
So, I ordered a double rifle for myself. Not an H&H, but, still cost me less than the loss on the truck did.
I figure I owed it to myself to have one really nice gun, built the way I wanted it. And I get to pick it up on Friday. You only live once, may as well enjoy it.
