Many thanks

I am hunting northern Italy,usual mountain boar hunt set up. Mountains are about 6,000 ft tall odd.....

Ok hmm, as Marrakai knows i may be onto one that is HALF decent at least, or most of all, usable, salvageable...

I can see im going to end up with both, however bpe prices rise and the factory made 9.3 cheapies do not......so i can get the bpe now and the 9.3 later without a horrid surprise......i guess......

How do you keep your 125 yr old bpe weather proof???

With my shotguns and small bores,i used to go OTT, filling my Mauser's stock to barrel gap with grease, and going wild with oil after use. Shotguns in mint condition after 1 year with me were show condition!!!!!!!! Ahhh,got to take care of our guns.

Thanks again all,

Ben
