Wow! What a marvelous rifle!
Even with the little 2 1/2 inch case, I rather imagine the muzzle-blast would re-start your pace-maker...!

Apologies for missing your earlier threads buckstix, got busy with other things for a while there and missed a big chunk of NE.com. However, being an avid student of British sporting pastimes during the Raj, I'm enthralled by the 'howdah rifle' concept, and have posted on the subject before.

Very much looking forward to your reports from the range, and ultimately the hunting field.
Best of luck!

Oh...almost forgot....congratulations on your new A&M Magnum by he way: An American classic!
