Lovely looking rifle.

That's a good weight especially with the full-length rib.

Congratulations.

Cheers, Chris

You are going to really enjoy that beauty!

Correct bullet placement, combined with the required depth of bullet penetration, results in an anchored animal...

Too true, I figure he has about 12 months max.

I sometimes wish I had never seen the Hallowell, Schwandt, Barnett, or Champlin websites, or looked at the VCs and Heyms at DSC/SCI. I'd probably have a stock portfolio or something.

That Springer is a very fine looking rifle, built in the 'Golden Age' as George Caswell calls it.

Scutulatus, I envy you that little jewel!

Welcome to the DRSS, and as others have already said, that wont be your last double rifle, but you started with a very nice one, in a very usable caliber!

I am going to write Springer for any details they have. Morris said they prob have the whole works on the build.

That Springer was an excellent buy!
It was one of Morris' personal rifles and I don't think he had a habit of keeping any duds.
My first double rifle was a Springer too. Still have it.
IMO, Johann Springer was one of the best of the European makers.
