Fantastic rifle, in handling and sheer grace,....the "English Sharps",....makes a '74 look like a Bulldog Mack Truck ( hint).
Weak in the wrist by it's basic design, a design DEMANDING the same PLAIN, boring, straight grained woods that were used on classic English DGRs, in both singles and doubles of the era.
...that's just the way it is.
