I often have dreams of owning a roomful of H&H's then I wake up and wonder why no one this day in age hasn't brought a "low end" double rifle to market.
I realize there probably isn't much demand for such a setup, but that isn't the reason I keep stumbling across that people claim to be the reason there aren't
affordable double rifles out there.
The most frequent response I've seen to such a question is the labor intensity of building a double rifle. And yes I agree the way the artists that are left build
them it is and they produce a fine product... However I really see no reason why someone couldn't manufacture a decently priced SxS double rifle.... Ah but
regulating the barrels you say?.....
I'm by no means a gunsmith, machinist, nor physicist, but are we really to believe that with all the ballistics data and CNC machines, etc that you couldn't cut a
couple of barrels and a wedge that would get you accurate enough alignment for a fairly inexpensive double?
Those are my thoughts on the topic. What does everyone else think?
I don't necessarily want a big bore, but a double 30-30 or 30-06 sure would be fun... at least in my imagination anyhow
