You're right about the shoulder; never looked closely before. I mentioned it because there are some bargain-priced Number 1s out there. There are also some .405 Ruger and Winchesters, a bit much under full steam, but that's why we handload.
Besides old Number 3s, EABCO will build one of their 97s in .375W, but they sure think highly of them these days! In one fell swoop, the price jumped way over my interest level. Encores and Contenders will handle it too but I just have a hard time with their looks and feel.
All this is academic for me as WV and VA are still solidly in the rifle camp, where I hunt anyway. My cousin has a great opportunity on some Ohio property, but he bought a Browning A-bolt slug gun.
