Grandson opted for my 300 Wby, and this vault-strong 12ga over 7X65R Fortuna drilling with a Leupold long tube 3X now on top, and the original scruffy but very clear and fully functional Nickel 1-4 scope tossed in is now for sale. The wood is excellent for its age, no rust, some thinning bluing. Twenty new brass, and set of 7X64 dies will be included as a package.

$2,340.00 plus $75.00 shipping to your lower 48 FFL.

Yes, just like 7X57 and 7X57R and 8X57 and 8X57JRS. The 7X65R is a rimmed 7X64.

What length are the shotgun chambers? What does it weigh with and without the scope? What are the stock dimensions (LOP, DAC, DAH, cast)?

LOP is 14.25" and 13.25". It has standard factory cast and drop. These later guns had less drop than earlier drillings, since they assumed a scope would be installed. It has just enough drop to get onto the open sights without effort. Proofed 2/76, so it's 70mm chambered and F & F. The gun being a 12ga is heavy; I estimate 7.75-8 pounds. The scope and mounts are very light. The right extractor side has an einstecklauf cut done nicely. I do see a small area of minor corrosion in the left barrel on the left side about mid way. Barrels are 63 cm long.

The stock and screws are unmolested.

It's a solid drilling with very good wood and is tight on face. The scope has been bore-sighted only. The new owner can dial it in for their particular loads. I've had good luck with 52gr IMR 4831 with 160gr Speer BTSPTZ in my prior Simson very much like this Fortuna and in my favorite drilling, my Kreighoff Trumpf Dural 16 & 7X65R.
