Hello Mike,

you are right that the big lug on the top of the barrels protudes a bit, but during my handling the rifle ist was not so bad as being an obstacle for quick reloading!

Also the rifle was purchased for hunting Africans plains game where a quick reload is desirable but not essential (in comparism to having a discussion with buffalo at 10 yards...)
For this kind of hunting Fritz relies on a Johannsen 500 Jeffery (Magnum System, of course) or an Orth .416 Rigby, or on a beatiful stocked Heym .500 DB, so there is no desperate need for a .375 H&H DR to be used...
