Bandit,
Who makes (made) your 12/5.6x52R?
I believe it's something like Ferochi (sp?), a family run place in Italy. They're still in business, but the combo guns they make these days bear little resemblance to mine, which was built in the early 70's.

It is Marocchi, and they are the current makers of the "Valmet" 412 series guns. They interchange with the Valmet 412 series and are pretty good, all-in-all. I have a set of 30-06 o/u barrels of theirs for my Valmet 412S. They made the Tikka Series of the same gun, then Finnclassic, etc. The 12/9,3X74R I killed two buffalo with was a Marocchi/Tikka. I had 12/9,3X74R and 9,3/9,3 barrels, both scoped. It was a great moderately priced Africa set up, and I had the double trigger receiver, not the usual SST.
I wish I had the $$ to buy that one of yours, Bandit. You know I covet it.
