I know I'm not the only one who immediately wondered what chamberings produce ~9800 joules of energy upon reading "the list".

I may have found the closest one to 9800 joules, i found one with 8800 joules, it will still do the job. Holy... blackface…. Robin...I will find out if there is some to be purchase.

Better to own two exceptional guns than twenty run of the mill ones.

Well i bought a 10 K revolver and while it is by far my best revolver on all counts, It's certainely not 4 times better than my New Python 4.25.

So 6 rifles worth 3K each will certainely provide much more fun than a 30K rifle that you are nervous to handle.

A Korth revolver isn’t the place to go looking, go after a British best double rifle or sub gauge to see what it’s all about. Rigby, Holland & Holland, Purdey, Westley Richards, McKay Brown to name a few. A rifle that can take the best craftsmen in the game months to make is rather something special in more ways than I can illustrate in a post anyone would read. It’s functional art, a Sako or what have you isn’t though they definitely have their place. I respect working guns, but far more of us can make experienced comments on those than on British bests. Which is why the opinions generally sway to the production guns in these discussions; the volume of experience is there.

You have to appreciate the long road, and functional art, and if not I totally respect that as they don’t kill any better. But they are something right special, to be sure.
 
Theres a parker dh grade 8ga on guns international ive been lusting after. Not a british best nor subgauge. Nor would it be a joy to carry but it rivals their market price. At 64500 usd i cant afford to buy it and its likely prohibed now anyway
Theres truth in owning fewer things of higher quality but you have to be willing to use them as intended. Ive had buddys scoff that i took a new a400 beretta out in a sbow storm for a hunt. I laughed as i drove a 42000 pickup thru rhe same snow storm and it stays outside year round lol

That rigby is gorgeous. Great cartridge to but id sooner have a 275 for my style hunting here in ontario. Love that classic stalker style look and feel
 
I love those too, and those are only the price of a Sako if you go Oberndorf. Same thing and action as the Rigby just Mauser themselves’ version.

I agree with this but myself have trouble of not scratching or idiot scratching,

Buying those extra nice rifles WILL make me nervous of this.
My Korth is all ready full of scratchs
