N E 450 No2Nice double I have handled a Merkel 30-06.
Them "little light weight doubles" are sure great hunting guns. I have a 9,3x74R Chapuis that I really like.
Have you thought about scoping it?

Jim ManionCongratulations! Gotta love those doubles in the woods. Kind of like toting a carbine as far as length goes.
