I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!
There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

whelennut Your welcome. I stumbled across it looks as some doublt shotgun vids a few months ago. The wonderful thing to remember is that even in this modern world, many of the the old ways are still being practiced in Birmingham, London, Eibar, Leige , Suhl, St Eitienne, Gardone, and even in the US ,Japan and Turkey. One thing about those European trained smiths, they study at school and apprenticeships about as long as our lawyers/doctors do here from an early age just to earn a bench in many of those shops. Even the younger looking guys are masters at what they do..

Congratulations no question a family heirloom
Seriously will you shoot it? or is it a piece of art to enjoy?
I think you should play the music while you hold it.

Yep, I'm going to hunt with it! And yes MD that was me and it's going to Tanzania in 2013. Two buffalo on the menu, one for this rifle and the other for the 405  . Naturally I'm taking a scoped 375 H&H or my 340 for backup and for PG and a leopard. jorge

Hank Oh, it will be shot. Rest assured. Good thing his shoulder will wear out before the barrels.
