At the time, i was heavy into "wildcatting", and coming up with some bigger cartridges for the 412's. I was convinced, that once the move was made, that the quality of the steel would go down. The "made in Finland" 412's, have some of the toughest steel ever put into a firearm, as least that's what my rebore man kept telling me.

I do believe, time has proven me right, as the hunters in other countries who have used both "heavily", tell me the 412's were the better guns. Reboreing a 512, tells the same thing.
