With people many times claiming a double rifle is out of reach of the common man, worth keeping a record of this good buy. IMO. Sold for just over $3000 as the auction bid price.

I'm betting on it being a .303 Brit., which would be even better!
We shall hear from Buckstix once he gets it in hand.

.... My bet is that it IS a .303 Savage. French law up until last month virtually prohibited military calibres.
Any news yet, Buckstix?

Made in 1949, barrels by Falla. Nice rifle except I don´t like the carvings, otherwise it looks a lot like my Demarteau, though mine is 9,3x74R. /S

Quite a nice buy, and an ejector too for those who like them.
