Ok, you are just bragging, and I am envious. Show us a clear picture of the butt wood figure. Put some light on it.

Zeljko, Welcom to AR and more importantly the double rifle forum.

Very nice rifle, and well set up! The 8mm chamberings are often overlooked by Americans, but in reality are one of the best hunting range of cartridges one can choose! I have several rifle chambered for the verious 8mm cartridges including double rifles,Cape guns, and bolt rifles.

Agin very nice rifle!

Thank you very much. for European hunting, I think it is perfect. It will bring down any beast in Europe,the recoil is light, and the ammo cheap. Post shot new target aquisition time is very short, which is very important for driven boar hints, for which it was made.

Mr. Mac thank you for your welcome, I have been reading this and Nitro forum for about 2 years now, and i have learned great many things during that time,especially from you.
You are truly an encyclopedia on double rifles, reloading and hunting.
I have 2 more guns to share from J.Fanzoj O/U and will post as soon as possible,as a little payback for the wealth of info I learned here.

Zeliko, welcome as well. The Ferlach makers certainly turn out some exquisite guns. I've had them by Borovnik, Sodia, Winkler, and Outschar. They can overdo it with glitz at times, but most are functional masterpieces.

Wonderful rifle!
It's too bad the Herr Winkler is no longer in business. He built beautiful guns. I treasure mine!
