browningguyDumoulin Rifle Help?
A little off topic but I'm hopeing the European hunters might be able to help. I've just sent off a check for a Dumoulin Rifle in 338 Win. Mag, hard to believe I'm buying a non-Browning but at least it's Belgian made. Anyone familiar with these that can offer comments, anything I need to look out for after I receive it? It's the Mannlicher stock model built on an FN action. Looking through my reference books I only found a very short reference saying they were essentially handmade rifles.
I know I won't be able to get published velocities out of the short barrel but I'm planning on useing heavy for caliber bullets with fairly mild loads as my brush gun.
Thanks,

<Harry>Don't worry...you will be happy with your purchase.
They have been building fine toys for a long time.
I just sold one in a 416 Rigby to a client.
