Re: "The Sun shall never set on the British Empire

I just looked at the photos at full resolution on Cabelas website. If the barrels are re-blacked it looks like it was done right. Of course it's impossible to tell from photos, but take a good look at the full-res photo of the top of the action: HERE

On the left barrel you can see the "W" and part of the "J" in the inscription. Those letters look good and crisp. Also, the punch work around the breech of the barrels is crisp. I can see longitudinal marks on the barrels from when they were struck. I don't think that would be present if they were buffed with a wheel. The longitudinal marks on the barrel are clearly visible in this photo also: HERE

Just my $0.02 worth, which might be over priced at that!

iwantadouble, if you like that rifle, why not make them an offer? The double rifle market is a moving target. It's like chasing a rabbit and always just out of reach. If you don't lunge at the quarry you stay behind. That's been my experience, anyway.
