Bespoke circa 2007 and requiring 410 man hours to create, serial A470387 is the first of only four doubles made in this storied firm’s history. Based on a refined Merkel action, the 23.5 barrels have matted rib (stepped, brass-beaded blade front sight, sling swivel stud, fixed express rear sight with two folding leafs marked 50/100/150 and adorned with gold sighting triangles, extractor). The action itself has side clips, custom sideplates, a mechanical tang safety, cocking indicators, mechanical triggers, bushed strikers and an extended/tapering lower tang. STOCK: Fashioned from an outstanding English blank set with dynamic waves of marbling, the properly-tapered splinter wears a full wrap of fine checkering with contoured borders and fleur accents.

A graceful palm swell, scalloped and shadow-lined cheek rest, steel grip cap, pedestaled stud and Pachmayr Decelerator complete the formalities.

Mechanics are positive and snappy. Metal finish is over 95 percent, the majority of adjustment from trace thinning at the safari carry point near the muzzles. Wood is at least 98 percent. The counterweight slightly shifts during handling and will be secured or removed upon request. PROVENANCE: A Certificate of Authenticity from Mountain Riflery is included. CASE: An outstanding elephant hide display case with fitted leather interior, bone-handled tools, brass oiler, key and maker’s label formalizes the presentation.

TOM SIATOS (1923-2008) spent the majority of his life in close association with firearms and hunting. His professional contributions, tremendous category knowledge, bottomless enthusiasm and bold personality influenced the firearms industry and outdoor media to such a degree that it remains a viable force today. Tom was the second editor of Guns & Ammo Magazine. As such, he was responsible for the general tone of the iconic publication. A consummate hunter, spectacular all-around shot and true connoisseur of fine firearms, his interests spanned the full spectrum of the shooting sports. In 1942, Tom enlisted in the Marine Corps. He served in units that scouted and destroyed isolated enemy communication sites on a number of Pacific islands, eventually receiving a battlefield commission. After concluding his service, he attended UCLA and later joined the fledgling Petersen’s Publishing Company in 1958. A series of promotions led to him to become vice president of the Petersen’s Publishing Outdoor Division, which thrived under his leadership. Tom Siatos was a mentor, visionary, leader, father figure and a true original. We will never see his like again. The price is firm and layaway is available. $20,000 plus shipping.
