Funny--I named my 11-bore SxS after my ex-wife for much the same reason. If I had Casper50's little rifle, I'd have to name it "Vic" after a gal I dated for a while.

I'm curious about the barrel as received from the auction. At what point was the hole ground in the barrel--in the chamber area, or further out, where it would be cut off when the barrel was sleeved? I heard rumors of a similar rifle floating around, and have thought about trying to locate it but have hesitated because I wasn't sure if this would be a problem.

Thanks,
Jim
