Thread: Most Expensive Rifle in NZ

Mate living in Dublin sent me this pic of this hand made rifle in 6.5 Creedmore
Its made by "Henry Scherling". Has a price tag of 110,000 Euro so I googled this and we're talking $197,000 NZ .
Wonder who owns the most expensive rifle in NZ, but then again, best to not say.

A double with a scope in 6.5 Creedmoor? Does not compute! Workmanship looks incredible though.

yes incredible workmanship but the caliber its like a very bad joke- like buy a Ferrari and under the bonnet is a 1.3 4cycl diesel yes does not compute

Shows a typical Russian bad taste
Just spend stupid money and have no idea

Pre covid and pre Ukrain invasion the top English and European gun makers were selling lots of similarly expensive and tasteless guns to Russian oligarchs

There was a hand made rifle being produced locally not all that long ago, a single shot that I can't remember the name of.

ild be scared to take it out its case let alone fire it

@longshot would that be the Soroka rifles?

Yes I think that is it. Similar to a Ruger No1 but much much better quality.

Saddam's 24K gold plated AK47? There's probably a few really exotic collectible prototype military one-off's and trials rifles loafing, I saw one of those head overseas for circa NZ$90K at one auction. Rumour has it it never arrived at destination as well, went AWOL in transit (would tear your undies right off, wash them, iron them, and then put them back on ya while you're being force fed laxatives and then tear them right off again just to add insult value to the gutted sensation you'd be experiencing...).

Double barreled with underlever, it doesn't look like a falling block rather a break action. Beautiful workmanship regardless.

I shot 11kva power line with a Sportco 22 hornet about forty years ago.
And it genuinely was an accident.
That Sportco was looking like a very expensive rifle for a while.

And the guy took a photograph despite there being a no photos allowed sign

Bad form old chap

It’s not even checkered….. The stock maker must have too shit scared to take to that blank with the cutters.

I'd imagine that the most expensive gun in NZ would be a shottie, not a rifle. Plenty of coined up bird hunters won't be seen dead with a shottie worth less than a hundred grand.

And I betcha that they wouldn't drop more birds than some clued up shooter with a Mossburg 500

Has a good taste in scope, nothing but the best. Maybe the scope was the expensive part of the set up.
