Folks I’ve been back reading old posts with interest and there seems to be lots of top 10 posts - basically covers a good chunk of what’s available!

I have always loved large bore doubles, especially in the older/larger calibers. My W.J. Jeffery double in 8-bore 3.25" is easily my most prized possession! But lately I have had this obsession with 577 NE double guns, I can't stop thinking about them!
