Your Marcel Thys double is one of his nicest made guns that I have handled.

Much better than most of the MT guns I have seen.

Ne 450 No2,

I have handled very nice Thys's and some that were not in that league. Like all makers Thys made a range of guns, and with the range some were better than others. All English makers, or any maker made some less than ideal guns and rifles. H&H made some dogs, never have seen a Purdey that was a dog though!

I'll say that none of the Thys sidelocks I've seen were less than very nice.

JEFF, I AGREE WITH THE IDEA OF A SECOND SET OF BARRELS - EITHER SAME OR DIFFERENT CALIBER.

A 577 WOULD BE NICE OR A SHORT SET OF 600.

IS THE FRAME BIG ENOUGH TO TAKE A SET OF 700 BARRELS ? THAT WOULD BE A NEAT COMBO WITH THE 600.

GOOD LUCK WITH WHATEVER YOU DECIDE, TOM

Would the frame be big enough to allow for a properly weighted .700. Although Jeff could have the first ever ultra light .700NE sheep rifle!!! Eeker

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.
-Seth Peterson
