Well men, sorry I'm late but I've been er..busy! The gun arrived and I got there exactly 42 seconds later Well men it's here and it's everything I expected. Two things stand out: I have NEVER had a gun fit me so well and proof-positive that getting measured and measured correctly is an absolute must. The other is the target. I took a pair of calipers and measured the holes center to center and they are within .001 of what the barrel separation is. Hopefully I can shoot it as well. I'll have to retake the pics as they really suck and not do the cch justice. The CCH is very subdued but in the light of day the colors really come to light. On my scales it came in right at 10.15lb.

A great big ATTABOY there, jorge. Congratulations. Getting a rifle like that is better than your first bicycle, I would think.

Atta boy Jorge. That will make them jealous. Nice rifle. Do you know where it is regulated for, and with what load?

My wife says the rifle and I should get a room. She named it "Catherine" after the french actress Catherine Deneuve. Sure honey, I'll get a room:

If it is a French gun you are looking for I would be happy to trade this Dumoulin straight up. Your gun is nice but it doesn't hold as many shells as this one but I will try and make do. I have also enclosed the regulation target. Unfortunately the target is in French and I cant read it so I will cover shipping to make up the difference. It's a 270 so you will have no problems finding ammo. I am not to sure if that 450 NE will ever catch on but I am willing to take a chance.

Boy that certainly is a good looking piece! It'll be fun to see how the regulated barrels perform. Now you need to buy the wife a new mattress.
