I didn’t know the monopoly guy made guns. But really just looked at some online and they are beautiful guns!

Actually, if the desire is more for double than stunningly beautiful, you could find a Tikka/Valmet 412 double rifle pretty easily for not much money. In fact, I have one that switches between 30-36 OU to 12 ga OU. When I get around to it, I'll be putting it up for sale, locally.

As a "holy grail" I have to admit to wanting a Luger P'08 and never managing to get one at the right price.

Yesterday, I did manage to bring home a long-time grail rifle--a Browning T-bolt. The first time I saw one of those, I fell in love with the odd action, and have only seen a single example since--and both were well above my play money limit. Yesterday, though, I spotted a neglected example in my LGS with a $100 price tag. It's now sitting next to me in my office.

Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

At this point, photos of the T-bolt are pretty useless. It's a 1967 Belgian made Browning, which unfortunately put it at risk for being a "salt wood" gun. On disassembly, I found that inside the stock was completely covered in salt and corrosion. Nothing that a bit of work won't fix, but too fugly for closeups. Give me a bit of time--I've already ordered a Boyds stock for it. I'll post nicer photos in the Long Guns section (and explain what "salt wood" is for anyone who doesn't know) once I get it running.

@RandallZ


Can't wiat to see it finished. FYI Boyds gun stocks are made no too far from me right here in SD. A super tiny plant for the number of products they pump out!

Nice products in my experience. I used to work near Richard's Microfit stocks and after a factory visit wouldn't gamble on one of those for any money.
