Description:
This rifle has some provenance:
It was owned by the late professional hunter Fred Duckworth and author of “A FAR FROM ORDINARY LIFE”.
Fred’s first elephant was taken with a 9.3x64mm Brenneke Mauser, which quickly taught him a good lesson: to carry as big a double rifle as possible.
He commissioned the late Harald Wolf to build this double rifle (who made some pretty impressive double rifles in unusual calibers. Besides being a master rifle-builder, Harald also ran a big-bore rifle Magazine called " Hatari Times,” which was a brilliant publication.
This Harald Wolf double rifle has ejectors and has two sets of barrels in calibers .460 Weatherby and .416 Rigby. The rifle is built as strong as a vault on a beefy side-lock / tri-lock action. This action is a Franz Jaeger type tilting breechblock lock-up action, which sidesteps the inherent weakness of the bar action system.
The 24” .460 barrels are for heavy-skinned dangerous game and the short handy 22” .416 barrels for quick shots at wounded soft-skinned cats. Two of my favorite “pet” calibers and a perfect combination for a professional hunter.
The metal work is in very good condition. There are some dings in the stock finish.
