    What about the Italian manufacturer S.I.A.C.E. ? Their 500 nitro is about 5 grandish. That would be doable.

    Double rifles can be “temperamental” at the best of times when trying to get reloads or different factory ammo to regulate correctly. This regulation is one reason why double rifles are expensive. I am very skeptical when it comes to “cheap” double rifles, I am not pointing the finger at any one manufacture here. I have learnt this the hard way, returning rifles to Europe is not cheap and no warranty covers shipping. I had one “cheap’ Italian DR that shot beautifully, but the rib started to come unsoldered, I was told no warranty, so with the shipping and repair cost I was SOL.

    Even a Baikal double in .45-70 will be $1,250.00. Most larger frame double rifles start at approx $10,000.00. By larger frame I am referring to .375 and up, I am a little skeptical of a large caliber DR that would sell for $5,000.00 that sounds to good to be true. I had to return a whole shipment of (cheaper!) double rifles because they would not group to my satisfaction, I count myself very lucky to have received a refund but the whole exercise wasted a lot of my time and cost me over $2,000.00, once bitten twice shy.


    I will certainly be looking for lower priced DR at both the Shot Show and the SCI convention. I have no experance with S.I.A.C.E.

    My 8 Bore is not for sale, first I have to hunt a large bull Ellie, and after that I could never part with her. She has fast become my favorite rife!
