The Holland & Holland Royal is the London gunmaker's flagship sidelock double rifle and shotgun action, a bespoke design dating to the early twentieth century that represents the pinnacle of British best-gun craftsmanship, built entirely to individual customer specification by hand at the firm's workshops. Chambered here in .500 Nitro Express, a large-bore dangerous-game cartridge developed in the early 1900s for stopping power against elephant, buffalo, and other African and Asian big game, this double rifle continues a tradition of British express rifles built for professional hunters and sportsmen pursuing dangerous game across the former colonial hunting grounds of Africa and India. Holland & Holland's Royal action, refined and largely unchanged in its essential engineering for over a century, remains synonymous with the highest tier of bespoke gunmaking. Completed in 2021, this rifle represents the firm's continued production of the Royal pattern using traditional hand-fitting methods largely unchanged since the model's inception.
