I hope your last post wasn't to shut this thread down, this is a great thread and I love looking at these fine old guns. My most enjoyable hunting rifle is a Frantz Sodia O/U in 348 win. I'm not sure of the year of production but believe it was made in the 50's. It shoots better than I can and is easy to cary. I also have a Winchester 71 deluxe that I have better luck with. It shoots just as good but when I cary it I usually see deer.
