For google photos you need to use URL links to the page. Direct hotlinking of images doesn't work. Fixed for you.

Nice looking rifle.

That is a very beautiful DR. Do you know who did the re-color case hardening and the other refurbishment to it?

Regards

I have had this for about 4 months, I am shooting this for the first time this Sunday.
Along with a H & H 500 BPE that you can see I've posted on this forum.
