Cpt Curl, You have a really lovely rifle there!In very good taste,with some nice,understated engraving,a real gem. The flipping up sights must have been a problem when these rifles were used more in anger,my .577 Westley Richards falling block has the sight blades fixed down with tiny screws,I suppose the original owner did not want to "shoot over" his Elephant! The bullets you are using look very much like the Lead Bullet Technology ones I use for my Jeffery PD, I find them very reliable,and much cheaper for range use than Woodlieghs!
I am surprised that the action body is not colour case hardened,as the trigger guard,buttplate,and lever are all retaining their CC hardening.
Do you intend to put some full nitro loads through it?It is proofed to 16.5 tons.
Enjoy using it!
Chris.
