Hi Setch,
Thanks for for your views. The price quoted is $ 2400 but I am hoping it will come down a bit. I agree that it is a fair price by international standards. I was rather confused by some reviews on the net saying that modern ammunition is slightly bigger than the original in terms of bullet diameter and should not be used in older rifles.
I have yet to see the rifle, which is in a different state and I will have to travel quite a bit to see it. Since it is a Jeffery made rifle it is quite attractive an offer. There being no hunting in India the rifle is a collectors piece only unless I go on safari in Africa.
Since import of weapons into India was effectively stopped in India in 1984, prices, especially of handguns, is quite high.
Regards.
