	Nice! I am a sucker for a nice piece of wood and you have to love an express sight with a banded front on a big Martini. Very cool. ratseye

	Mea Culpa... MINE! I have always loved the British Stalking Rifle, and now I will have one. For boar/pig, deer at less than 200 yards, and anything else I can think of... Hats off for taking a bundle of parts and getting the picture out of my imagination and shaping it into steel and walnut. Dino in Reno

	I wondered if it was a small BSA or an original Francotte action. Nice rifle. .22 is wasted in those actions

	.357 Jeroboam might fit. In wine that's equal to 6 standard sized bottles. Do you reload for it? What game do you use it for? Dino in Reno

Dino in Reno If you're answering my post, yes I reload cast bullets for it. Norma cases are a little bit expensive though. i.load it with an assortment of other dies so I didn't have to spring for an expensive die set I generally load 200g bullets to about 1300 feet per second but I've also used this 9 mm Makarov bullet with 6 grains of Bullseye at just a touch over a 1000 fps . the little 95g Makarov bullet will print bugholes at 25 yards and about an inch and a half at 50.

	Cbashooter I like single shots and straight or barely necked cartridges. Then again I like almost any rifle... Congratulations for keeping that fine old rifle running Dino in Reno
