Darn or should I say Darne?
I have purchased 4 in my life and retain one 16 gauge that Ted had Bruchet build for me.
Superb double and an R11 to boot as I didn't want to pay for an R13.
The Darne is one of the most beautiful doubles ever made to my eye, fast handling and with the trigger system that Bruchet provided where the first trigger will fire the barrels sequentially, a very very fast Darne.
The 28 gauge Mono was attractive but by the time I purchased the action and had it engraved, I would have been at least $30KUSD in the hole with no hope of ever recouping anywhere near what I put into it.
I decided the 16 gauge R11 Bruchet/Darne was good enough for the rest of my life.-Dick
