The Holland & Holland Noble presented at The Game Fair

The new Holland & Holland Noble was presented at The Game Fair in July and attracted many comments and much admiration. The over-and-under is one of the first new releases since the world-famous gunmakers were purchased by Beretta Holding in February 2021. (Read our news story on the event here.)

The Noble is being hailed as the reinvention of Holland & Holland’s Sporting model. Historically famed for their forward-thinking approach to gunmaking, the latest addition to the H&H line-up will fill a gap in the UK market, where English over-and-unders have previously been questioned by serious high-bird shooters.

Proof tested for 3in Superior Steel, the Noble is built to handle punchy loads and withstand the rigours of modern game shooting. Stephen Nutbeam, of Longridge Shooting Ground, described it as “great handling”, adding that he “felt very little recoil.”

Currently available in 12-bore, the Noble is hitting the market at £75,000 (plus VAT) with a ‘Deluxe’ model, featuring game scene engraving on the side-plates (pictured) offered for an extra £10,000. Look out for the  Shooting Times review coming soon. (You’ll find all our gun reviews here.)
