Masterpiece .

Magnificent.

Beautiful O/U Roger. Do these bespoke shotguns so finely engraved hold their values, especially when they were made to order with specific gun geometry? Another very informative video.

Huge Sako Tikka fan! I’m trying to get at least 4 older Sako’s now.

Excellent rifle. 🎉. Goes without saying. 🎉

Thank you, Mr Rule. Perugini-Visini are an amazing ccompany and for a while even Purdey (under Vendome ownership) offered guns made by them! If you endorse a gunmaker, then of course, that gunmaker has the highest stamp of approval too! Speaking of Manrico Torcoli, I remember Christian Ducros, one of France's great independent gunmakers, saying some years ago that he did not like engraving on his guns, but that there was one exception that he would make, and that was for Torcoli. Also, sir, if you have any experience with Roland Baptiste's work, I would request your revview of him. Roland is a personal friend who did the engraving on the first new Rigby Rising Bite double rifle recently, and whose work has been sought by all British, Belgian and Austrian gunmakers. I am possibly also biased in his favor because besides our friendship, I was also the official translator of his book "Manuel de Gravure sur Armes." It is considered one of the finest textbooks of engraving after MArio Abbiatico and Remo Salvinelli's "Grand Incisioni su Armi del Oggi." Thank you again, and apart from your KZbin posts, I sincerely wish that you are featured on a major television channel that talks sporting guns. Your expertise is unmatched and the world deserves to learn more from you. Stay blessed always, sir!

Beautiful rifle and a Beautiful Lady.

👍🏻

Thank you for another fascinating episode. The rifle looks businesslike and artistic at the same time. I have have the same model of Zeiss scope on my BSA in 7x57mm and the glass quality is superb.

Very nice rifle. I would be afraid to pick it up due to the policy, “you break it, you buy it.” I’m glad to see there is a market for such bespoke firearms.

I can afford either the rifle or the ammo but not both. I'll have to look into reloading. Nice video. Thanks.

Another great episode! Thank you Roger!

I have a correction. The only blued parts on this gun are the barrels. During the video, I had it confused with my Piotti Number One 20 gauge which will be shown in Episode 34.

Beautiful SxS double, puts my Parker and Remi rabbit ear double to shame. Keep them coming Roger.

Thanks for recommending this video Roger, the history of John Wilkes is fascinating and your gun is an elegant piece with superb wood.

Thank you Roger! You are making me drool! hahaha!

Thanks for another fascinating episode, it is great to see how the wonderful Italian craftsmen have interpreted and developed the Boss O/U design. The woodwork on this gun is particularly impressive and the Prince of Wales grip works well aesthetically. In the future would you be willing to create an episode where you show these Italian Boss design guns together with a London made Boss O/U gun?

Have you ever owned a Hartmann and Weiss rifle?

Best educational series on guns ❤

Beautiful shotgun but doesn’t look quite right without the Boss forend iron

Enjoy your videos sir.

Great Series, Thanks !

Thank you for the video.

Another fine an educational video, please keep them coming.

The starting price of John Dickson's current production Daniel Fraser Mannlicher-Schönauer is £15,500. Waidmannsheil!

So glad to see you back! And with a new sidekick, welcome Heidi! I'm excited to see your new acquisitions and thanks for sharing such beauty with us! The guns are nice too ;-)

Glad to see your back. I love your informative videos. Keep them up. Would love to see you get a Fabbri pigeon gun on for review. Older or newer…

Excellent to see you again! Welcome back!!

A pleasure watching your video sir. I also have a passion for fine quality craftsmanship.

Thank you for another informative video. Your Bertuzzi shotguns are works of art. If you are interested in the next generation of premium quality English gun makers I recommend test shooting a Longthorne shotgun. They use advanced engineering techniques to obtain high levels of precision, such as milling their double barrels from a single block of metal instead of the traditional method of brazing two tubes together.

Oohh Wow.. new video! 😀 I regularly check every single one of your old videos! Even have them downloaded. I really thing they sum up the history nicely and are nicely made! Thanks for all the effort and regards from Serbia!

Good to see you back! CNC is fantastic, but it sucks the soul out of the guns they produce ...

Thankyou Roger and Heidy for an excellent video, good to have you back.

Glad to see you're back, I thought you may have died! Glad you're alive and well! 😊

Yet another great video, Mr Rule. And superbly informative and entertaining as well! The Bertuzzi guns are amazing. Their Gullwing action has recently been copied and modified by Beretta as their Sparviere, as you know! Thank you for quoting me in a previous episode on your Theo Jung rifle review. Just for your information, I now work part time with a major firearms retailer, but of course, what they sell isn't a patch on what you have painstakingly collected and reviewed over the decades. Stay blessed always, sir!

I'd rather watch you, than Spomer right now. He's on as well. I am a huge fan of yours anyway!!! Love the Rifleman's rifle book. Long live the Rifleman's rifle, the Winchester model 70!!!!!!

Looking good Roger. Hope to witness more videos.

👍😁👍

Sako looks like a weatherby copy 😮

Thank you so much for doing these videos. I have always loved bolt action rifles but when I watch you review these magnificent works of functional art and historical treasures it makes me realize just how little I know about what makes a rifle truly special. Thanks so much for sharing your great knowledge and appreciation, these videos are treasures to me since I probably won't ever be able to own or hunt with one. I have my CZ 550 American though! It's my own little 6.5x55SE treasure ;-) And good job Virginia! My daughter likes your hair color!

My 1952 Model 70 in 270 is NRA Fine.

Thank you for the review of Sako and especially your memories about the gun fairs and the history!

Virginia is gorgeous. I'd take the guns, because I already have a gorgeous lady. ☺️

I own 2 pre 64 Winchesters, that were left to me by my Dad, after he passed...a 270 and a 375 H+H magnum, both mfg in 1950 (according to Winchester collectors assn)...taken several deer with the 270, nothing yet with the 375...both of these guns mean the world to me, both very accurate!!

It would be interesting to learn what the difference is between the S04 and S05.

What's a 22 hornet worth?

I have one FN exactly the same!! I the caliber 9,3x62 Mauser. Excelente rifle!!

When you mentioned the extreme recoil fron NE cartridges vs 100 or so 12 guage shotgun shells, i assume its because the NE cartridges are burning much faster powders and accelerate those large heavy bullets much quicker than your average 12g shotgun can. Always been facinated with the double rifle concept in large heavy hitting cartridges. The ultimate in "stopping power". Here in Europe the 9.3mm cartridge is popular for shooting running boar, sometimes in a double rifle configuration.

Blah, blah, blah, blah

What scope mount did you use on your 470?
