Definitely something you don't see every year. Ken OMG! That Macnaughton is to die for. Several years ago I gave up on the British auctions out of sheer frustration. I didn't even look at the catalog listings for this auction. I wish I had had the gumption to be there for this rifle. What did it go for? Curl www.RoscoeStephenson.com

What did it go for? Curl The site shows �16000, but I don't think it includes the buyer's fee of 25%. I wonder how many skeleton actions were made as a double rifle.

My question is not only few were made but who many are left as well? Still one that I'd just love to hold and shoot.

Only 36,000 GBP or after the hammer 59950$ USD. That is some serious cash for a BPE rifle. Firearms imports, consignments
