Does anyone have a $1/4 million to spend?

At that price, it better be Teddy Roosevelt's gun. But alas, it's not, and NOT worth that much money.

But the guy said it's the next thing that's going to be banned. Maybe I better buy it before it's too late?

Light years beyond what I could ever afford; truly a beautiful piece of gunmaking artistry. Thanks for the look.

This plastic BB gun I picked up for $ 750 is really a good deal cause the owner said it will be banned too. Guess were all lucky to get on these great deals before its too late.

Now that's the first time I've ever heard of a double barreled rifle. That's the new fact of the day for me.

Nice piece of craftsmanship if it's in the budget.

I have no doubt that H&H are among the best gun makers in the world......

....but if I'm dropping $220,000 on a single rifle, it had better be hand delivered by the pope riding a golden chariot.

Maybe I missed that part, but I didn't see anything about that. It is priced at $220,000 and he says that is below replacement cost. With a hand built rifle with that much engraving it probably takes 2-3 years to build. I'd not be surprised if he is right. I looked up the price of ammo and at about $7 per round I couldn't afford to shoot it.

Ah Holland and Holland. The epitome of elitist.

The wood alone is worth $200000. Wish I was Bill Gates, or at least had his money.

Saw the headline and first thing I wondered was "how many rounds in the box"? (of .22LR!)

That's about right for that gun, although CSMC has a little wiggle room on the price.

Ivo Fabbri makes a shotgun from titanium that goes for 225,000
Peter Hofer and Philip Ollendorf can make some custom rifles that can go over $600,000 by the time they are engraved

If you have it, might as well buy the best

SERIOUSLY?? And you're in the UK? H&H has been making guns and rifles for 200 years. Their DG rifles, both bolt and doubles, are famous for their quality and reliability

Just because I was curious...

For new ones, here's a price, from Holland and Holland's website:

Holland & Holland 'Royal Deluxe' Sidelock Shotgun (pair), uncased will cost:

£ 151,400.00, which at today's exchange rate comes to... $ 235,161.52.

The over-under pair is more.

That is a stunning piece of craftsmanship. And look at the wood on it!

It's just too nice to use. I really couldn't see shooting that dirty old bullet out of that piece of jewelry.

If I had that kind of discretionary money... You bet.
Its a work of art that I would probably still scratch up on the mesquite brush...

$1/4million? The current bid is only $0.00. Looks like you only need a buck.

I already have two of those, don't need another. Thanks.

I'm a young'un

Seems, sadly, like the young'uns here, you need to study some history......

H&H is one of your country's best gun and rifle maker, along with Purdey and Boss.....and from a northern cousin, the Dickson's and MacNaughton's from Scotland

Can you imagine if the <removed> here in the US do to us what they did to England, and our kids didn't know what Remington, Winchester, Colt, Browning meant to our history?
