Very nice indeed. Congratulations. Good work in finding that under the tree.
If that was the first shot, then it is crossed from right barrel to left side of target at 50 yards. And it is high!
Or you wobbled.
We can't tell until you do some more shooting, of both barrels.
Iron sights first and then the scope.
Could it be that the regulation load works better with the scope than the open express sights?
But I am concerned that you said it was fitted for "claw mounts" but you are using Talley rings. Was that merely an exuberant misspeak at the unveiling?
Simson & Co of Suhl, Germany: The "golden years" would be 1856 to 1936, until the Simson family fled Hitler. Then the maker's name held on in various guises through the hot war and the cold war until ceasing manufacture in 2002. I sure don't know the ins and outs of all that.
Is this a conversion of one of those "golden years" shotguns?
Used McGowen barrels instead of "Krupp Stahl" you say?
I do like McGowen barrels.
Your double rifle looks like a work of fine art.
Cheers
