one of my favorites.

The rifle is signed Fr Tenhaeff Utrecht. I learned that Utrecht is in Holland. The bbl. is 24" and half oct. Gun weighs 8 1/2 lbs. The forend cap is a horn shell. I love it but it's a nucklebuster!









I had a makeshift target up at 50 yds. with a mining roofbolt. I was just surprised at cutting the bolt into as it's at least 1/2" dia.

Beautiful rifle. I cannot imagine shooting an 11.2x72 at that weight. Mine is a Schuler built @ 10 lbs plus and the full-house loads really let you know when you touch one off.

Tom,

The first warm day that you and Fred can make it over, I'll get Charlene to make a truckload of sandwiches and we'll make a day of it. As far as the hunt, you guys both have bigger guns and cahonnies than I do. Smiler

Nice rifle! Looks like something you'd carry a bunch, shoot rarely, and enjoy immensely. thumb

that is simply one of the nicest of the genre that has been posted here...or anywhere else!

I am jealous. But, it gives me some ideas for my upcoming 6.5x68Schuler.
