FS Mefford Hubertus Drilling - 04/12/14
Continuing to reduce my collection.
For Sale, my Mefford Hubertus Drilling in 8x57JR/16/16. This is a Dural receiver drilling with walnut stock and forend, with horn grip cap, butt plate and trigger guard. The engraving is the scroll type. The gun weighs about 6.5 pounds. Barrels are 25 1/2 inches. I slugged the rifle bore and it is .318 inches. The shotgun chambers have been opened to take 2 3/4 inch shells. Bores are good. The wood finish is in very nice condition as is the checkering for a gun this old. There is one small crack at the top of the left side of the stock where the action meets the wood. It has been there for a long time and hasn't changed. There is a small chip out of the trigger guard, as well. The surface on the receiver has some wear of the finish. It has a greener safety, a greener crossbolt and sideclips. The front trigger is a set trigger and works nicely for me. The rifle sight is actuated with the rifle selector which also cocks the rifle lock. There are cocking indicators. Barrels are Krupp steel. The front sight can be flipped from a rifle sight to an ivory bead. The gun is fitted with a set of Talley rings that go on and off easily and smoothly. It has a 2 1/2X El Paso Weaver scope. It's clear and seems to be in good condition. I shot a couple rounds with it on and got a group of about two inches at fifty yards leaning on sticks with five shots. I got better groups with the Leupold scope, but it was probably just me. The gun will come with the El Paso Weaver scope, not the Leupold in the picture. I just put that on to do some hunting.
This is a light and lively field gun, a joy to hunt with and carry, while still pleasant to shoot.
$2850 plus shipping.
