New to me drilling


It's a Fortuna 16-gauge/70mm over 7x65R, 26-inch (65-centimeter) barrels, 6-3/4 pounds (3 kilograms) without the 2.5x10 Zeiss Davari scope. The scope adds about 1.5 pounds (0.7 kilograms. The gun came with 15 boxes of S&B 7x65R ammo. Now I cann't wait to shoot it.

Outstanding gun!!

Perhaps the stock is in need of some TLC?

It looks a bit darkened and dull! Perhaps just the foto!?

Regardless a great gun, a true keeper.

Best regards Christian.

A good combination and a fine scope. Add an insert barrel in 22 Hornet or 5,6x52R and you are unbeatable.

Sambar:

If the rain would stop I would take it out and see how it does. If should make a great mountain gun combination for quail and bear.

Christian:

The stock does need refinishing and a new recoil pad as well. I am going to shoot it as is for a while, but will refinish it eventually at which time I will have the checkering re-cut and a new pad added.

Burkhard:

What I would really like to find is a .22 Long Rifle insert for it.

Big Grin I finally got a chance to shoot my drilling. I is definately a keeper. I places its shots on top of each other in the exact center of the aiming point at 100 meters.
