Sinner:

I looked at this rifle at the Dallas Safari Club show this past weekend. I really thought about buying it, but decided against it, primarily as it would have involved tying up a lot of money in something I would use very little. It was a beautiful piece, however, as you note. According to G& H it is the same rifle as pictured in the Hoyem book on British cartridges. I compared the photo there with the rifle itself and noted some indentations at the rear of the lockplates and some screws which have beeb semi-buggered, but that's all I could really see. I'm curious as to the "condition issues" you see from the photos. I would really appreciate your further comments for my own edification--and education. No one can afford mistakes at this level!

Thanks!
