Re: 2 bore muzzleloader "Jaeger" style?

If this is the gun you are referring to, it has too much drop at the heal and toe for a typical Jaeger.- in my opinion, of course, it will not be a 'normal' Jaeger in design. 2 bore sort of redefines the big-bore principal.

Here is the stock shape to duplicate in a modern Jaeger (Steutzen ie:short rifle). This rifle is typical of virtually all of the picture of original Jaegers I have seen in books. Bro, Taylor, who built this one, has an absolutely remarkable book of exquisite pictures and descriptions of original Jaeger rifles - amazing. He built this one long before getting the book and it is pretty much spot-on, but a little plain in design, engraving, carving, etc. Too - it uses a maple stock instead of walnut.
