I have an irrational desire for one of these long rifles, does anyone have or know of one for sale?

Worldwidearms.com have them for 495 plus postage. I have one and they are beautiful rifles.

I have always fancied one however they look to have gone up a bit over the last couple of years.

There have been several in Holts auctions the past year.

just ordered one from CW Classic Arms at a reasonable price, cant wait to see if it lives up to the description !
Holts had 2 today, but if they make anywhere near the mid-top end or estimate then with charges there isn't much if anything in it .

The Holt's ones were OK but not as nice as they could be. Lacked finish.
Good luck. They make very good shooters, though the mag can get in the way.

well it arrived today at my office, looks pretty good, and is in its new home on display, will probably wait for TVP to get through their backlog and then see about getting it "on ticket"
