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.  JudgeG ... just counting time 'til I am again finding balm in Gilead chilled out somewhere in the Selous. | |||

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 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  ) . 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?    | |||

That'll do, Judge. Congrats on a great rifle. | |||

Judge, Does it need a little brother? I doubt that estimate will buy it. "If you’re innocent why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”- Donald Trump | |||

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

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... 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.
