De Lisle

[Jon B]

Has anyone ever asked about the price of the genuine De Lisle that is for sale at Euro Arms?

[ovenpaa]

Not sure I would dare ask... :shock:

[Sandgroper]

Shandwick Supplies (Chambers Gunmkers - near Tain) makes De Lisles to original specifications for about £2500 (?) - Don't quote me on the price as it was a while since I spoke to them about one.

The finished rifle is well worth the price - very, very nice. :goodjob:

[ovenpaa]

Any views on how it compares to the C&G version?

[Sandgroper]

The C&G one looks exactly like the one I handled up at Tain.

I have just got off the phone from someone who was at C&G today to discuss buying a De Lisle, he hasd been talking about it for a year and is finaly making the jump

I pick mine up at the end of Feb, that's why I sold the Win Mag, I just came across the real one and wondered if anyone had any idea how much it was.

[ovenpaa]

Have you tried it out to 200 yet Jon?

[Jon B]

I hope to pick it up in 6 weeks followed by a visit to Bisley.

Considering only about 130 were built, are you sure it was a real one? If so, could a price be put on something like that?
