Thread: 303 Double Rifle and what whiskey ?

If he's partial to Irish, then Bushmill's Black Bush is rather decent.

Boss&Co 303 that spent 70 odd years in Japan, story is the rifle was taken as a trophy of War when Singapore fell. Rifle was at Holts Auction and purchased by Boss&Co

Is three litres enough?

Good thread , real click bate ….double rifles and whiskey ….well for me anyway , whiskey is all about the company you share when you are have having a dram not the cost of the bottle

Huntings the same. It’s not about pulling the trigger it’s who you are with and the fond memories.

I rarely buy whiskey but when I do it's a 10yr old Talisker, about, very nice and it lasts me about a year...I'm more of a bourbon bloke.

Here's some wet day double rifle porn for your entertainment

Seriously that’s exquisite!! Now I could own something like that!! Is that one of yours?

It's for sale
Come and see it

It's a very fine double
In superb condition
Faultless really
Bores are both superb
Comes with dies and 6 modern cases and I have plenty of
NOS modern 500 3" brass

I already have three 500 3" rifles
This is IMHO the most practical of all the 500s

Oh and it will be properly cased
Very soon the way its raining today !

I am missing my Coal Ila , my favourite.
Longmorn 16 is my second best choice .

Next time you over the hill @akaroa1, try The Last Word on New Regent Street. The team there really know their stuff and have a great range. Last I had there was an 18yo Aberlour - an absolute delight. Highly recommend that sober driver though!!

Laphroaig is a decent whisky, and often a safe bet. It used to be one of the few easily available and affordable good options (I was first introduced to it at a pub called The Tappet Hen in Dunblane many moons ago), but there are loads more whiskies available now that are as good or better

Laphroaig is a popular dram,if not a bit of a fraud. It's loaded with Caramel so it looks dark,that's what people expect a peaty whisky to look like.

That sure does look nice, the pic of the rear tang and dog ears is pure porn, be nice to see a side pic of whole rifle, probably deserves its own thread

I will have both the 577-500 and 500 3" doubles out together tomorrow and I will get some more pics

Been regulating a light bullet load in the 577-500 today
135 grains of 1.5 FG has brought the 335 grain bullets together and pretty close to where the 450 grainers are regulated to

So I have a small game / practice load with less felt recoil.
And the 450s for hunting BIG game
