I own your rifle's twin, made 1910 but mine is rechambered, reproofed, and reregulated to .375 Flanged Magnum.

What year is your new acquisition?

Here's our cabinet's queen,

In my happy hands!

Picked it up today. I'll shoot it tomorrow and get some good pictures, etc. next week. It is all I hoped it would be.

She's a beauty, but didn't need to tell you that. I enjoy her twin most days, pull it out and just look it over, no doubt you'll enjoy the same. Scotch assists.

Wonderful new acquisition. The older pre-war English are the best.

I don't know, Judge, you don't seem all that happy in that picture...

I shot the rifle this morning.

Most promising!

Elevation and windage are just right so I don't have to fool with the sights. Triggers are smooth with no creep... maybe a bit over 4 pounds. The safety is automatic, an irritation, but since I won't be hunting lions or tigers or Viet Cong, I'll let what's been done for 109 years just be.

The only ammo I had was ancient Kynoch stuff that must have been 30 years older than me. Even with what I thought was a hangfire, all six shots grouped in a pie-shaped cluster in the top of the 8" diameter circle. Maybe 3.5" group???

I was shooting off-hand. I actually shot one of the pair into 1", but I'm not claiming that the vagaries of double gods didn't just line up right. In any event, I think I can reduce that to 2" when I shoot from a standing rest (or just learn to shoot better off-hand Big Grin ) .

The right is a bit to the right and the left, to the left, as should be. No un-crossing regulation battle forthcoming.

Maybe on Monday morning I can shoot minute of a whitetail at my farm? That'd be quite nice.

Same ammunition situation for mine, cracked an ancient box of Kynoch for the first shoot of the Royal, one didn't light up. Hundred yards offhand at bottom, works for me. They point like a dream eh Judge?

Judge,

Does it need a little brother?

I doubt that estimate will buy it.

Sounds like the two of you were made for each other! Congrats on a fine acquisition Ernest!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Given this is about exactly your rifle, seems appropriate,

What do I think? Hmmm...

Judge,
I think you slammed the outhouse door plum near off the hinges with that their limey shooter you have there... Smiler

In truth I am happy for you. I hope you make good use of it and that it does not stay in the vault but is your companion on walks around the property. I hope your time together is golden and I wish that your memories are recorded in technicolor...

From one Gentleman Farmer to another all the best.
