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. Frank

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.
