I am well aware of the rugged mountainous terrain in Europe and meant no disrespect toward your rifles. They are truly exquisite. I was only questioning your use of the term "working rifle" when describing the 404. I am sure it works but would be surprised to see it "working" for a living . But guess I shouldn't be as I have a friend who guided here in Alaska and carried a Holland & Holland Royal 500 Nitro for many years -- it was a total wreck when he eventually sold it --- and I have even been known to use some of my custom rifles in the garden where I "work"

It is nice to see rifles like that actually being used for the purpose they were intended !
