.303

Regulate the irons for the Woodleigh 215 or the Remington 180 RNCL {the latter is really an under-rated but super bullet}.

Quick detachable scope mounts, definitely.

Set the scope up for the 150 grain Hornady Spire Point for a single-shot {forget double regulation if you must}. Super bullet as I've tested it.

Let the world tell you that thing is a short range rifle ONLY and then go ahead and kill all the US game you want at out to 250-300 yards.

You won't regret it.

With the need for a house remodel, new barns, kids in college and taxes on the horizon I can't see myself doing anything double-like for a long time, but if I did, I would, and this set-up would definitely be in the top running.

Well you could always do something similar to what I am making for myself right now. A 303 with a second set of barrels in 375 Flanged

"I would have a .303 any day over a .375 Flanged. I think the .375 Flanged is way under powered"

you´ve puzzled me there, best, Mike

It will be a few months before I have it to photo. Off the top of my head, I asked Verney-Carron that it weigh 7lb in 303 and 8lb with the 375F barrels, splinter forearm, small round cheekpiece, 26" barrels on both sets, bolted safety with extended upper tang, case colored frame, rounded frame, no palm swell, day night front sight with single shallow V rear sight, pivot bases, tear drops on cheek panels, sideplates (Verney-Carron does not offer a true sidelock in the hammerless AZUR model) with niter blued dummy pins, and English style scroll engraving.
I am building it not only to use but so that I have a some guns with different features for taking to shows as examples of what they can build. As many of the V-C guns are made to order that way a customer can actually see first hand the different features.
