Check out this fine set of six double rifles representing each continent.

The entire set was sold together for just a tad over half a million pounds sterling!

Some very exclusive guns have come out of the House of Asprey they are known for their Asprey pinless locks unfortunately they do not make guns anymore but William Asprey do make guns under the name of William & Sons.

Very nice and beautiful guns. I bet the owners would store them in safe instead of firing lol. Maybe we'll get to see 100 year old virgin (Gun of course)
PS: Those pics remind me of a custom
Hello Kitty Beretta 92FS Inox I saw in hands of a Texan girl

Glad you enjoyed the pics.
@Shooter, .303 does have relevance to Australian history as it has been a part of the British empire and the venerable .303 was in service for a longtime and still used a lot as a sporting round. On the other side, the rifle sports 'roos,perfectly suitable. I read on Nitroexpress about people taking those scrub cattle with 7X64s.I am not saying that it's the best load for scrub cattle. But, given all the other factors, the choice does make sense, to me, of course. The Antarctic rifle should be fun.LOL.
@Bespoke, I did visit William& Son. Met their master gunsmith Paul West and had a very pleasant chat with him.You can see his pictures and their gun room on IFG.
@Priyan, In a different time, you would be standing in front of the Inquisition Board for heresy. Comparing Hello Kitty and these classics.Struth!
