Do you know if the Fraser rifle you are considering is a trade box lock set up by Frasers', or one of his own patent box locks?
I have only been inside one example of the patent rifles, and it remains the most thoroughly well made antique box lock double rifle I have ever seen, both in design and workmanship.
If you were in the UK in the last two decades of the nineteenth century, and wanted the best double or single rifle money could buy, you went to Fraser's.
The 450/400 3 ¼" is a wonderful round too - it would be hard to think of a black powder round better suited for deer hunting.
