hi ben

it will proberly be a 12 gauge action, correct me if im wrong, but it seems to me that most english db. rifles were made on large actions to get as much weight between your hands as possible for the correct handling.
the german belgium and french guns were usually made on smaller actions to get sleek lines.

i have been thinking about that and think that it maybe because of diffrent hunting styles in continental europe and the brit iles.

a lot moore spot and stalk or high seats in cont. europe where the sleek lines really comes into play

where the brit guns were made for hunting the world in a lot of instintic shooting were the order of the day.

just some thoughts i have been toying around with lately

P.S very few of the guns that makes it into my safe gets sold again, but if i sell out it off course will be put on the classified forum.
