Very nice looking rifle.

Lovely piece.

Enjoy looking at the cast for a right handed shooter. Nice Made in UK too .

Cant help thinking the for-end looks a bit American for a British Rifle. No matter. If you don't want it let me know!!!

An interesting note. Douglass spelled with two SS, means sometime in the past he or an ancestor did sometime of note for the Crown, so the family was awarded the second "S" to be added to their name.
