I think a 10-bore Paradox or Explora is more useful than 10-bore full rife barrel. Able to use well both ball and shot.
Is a 10-bore paradox and a 10-bore equivalent in power? I'd ball weight and velocity?

I guess cheek pieces look OK. Nowadays, not much use for a 10 bore with lead shot, is there?

The difference between 10b Paradox and 10b rifle is relative to how the rifle is built
There are some heavy 10b rifles, especially considering the mad magnums built by Tolley
The 10b guns are not legal for sporting use on birds in some states and areas here in USA I don't know how they're treated elsewhere
The issue of banned lead shot could be addressed with "non-tox" alternatives

10 bores legal all over Canada as far as I know, at this time, but non-toxic shot must be used for migratory birds, excluding doves, I think.

Looks like nice living there Colin!
I do enjoy seeing member enthusiasts' collections other than the guns we all like to show so much.
Bronzes in particular interest me too.
Here is a Heron I got at auction last Spring.

Colin, is Purdey chambered for the .303, a different .300 or is the bore .300 and the groove diameter .31(0)"?

I thought that was a single shot .22 Hornet?
I see where you get the .303/.31 from. From the rear leather rest of the camp chair the rifle is sitting on for display.
I've lost track of all the rifles and guns commissioned by the modern Maharajah of the West! 
I'm not sure Colin has found these two threads so far? I've messaged, posted him. Maybe try a couple email links next to Colin's email machine!? Or a phone call?
