Added another lady to my safe.

Francotte Hunter Model Double Rifle .470 NE

Picked her up at Cabelas for well below the asking price. Upon visual inspection, the barrels were better than described. Also, it does appear to my untrained eye that the rifle has not been refinished anywhere. The stock may have had some recent oil put on it, but the checkering looks original as do the case colors. The barrels show very strong rifling along the entire length with minimum wear in the grooves.

It is off to JJ for a full inspection.
