Nordmann's comments remind me of a WR Boxlock, Extractor in 500/465 I have. Short barreled job, border engraving only,
very little CCH hardening left.

Yet everybody who sees or handles it loves it, numerous
people have said that one gun could be used around the world.

It's been dropped, rained on, scratched but do I worry,
no, not at all.

Does it look pretty ? No
Is it a "best" gun ? No
Is it well made ? Yes
Does it work all the time ? Yes

I would put this 303 gun in the same ball park
but for a "light" double.

I would be proud to own, shoot and hunt with it !!!
