If I got a Rival and a .445 Grassette I'll have a nice collection of French sporters, hmm!

Rival was a trade name not meaning a special action(ok, in the beginning it was the Dauteteau)but a kind of big game rifle. the post war Rival here is looking more in the common big bore rifle style.







the long stock reminds me allways on the African Model Mauser



Vietnam, could be a Rival
