Casper:
What's that white stuff all over the ground!

Must be the angle: they looked like the Magnum case rather than the No.2 when I first viewed it.

Damascus-barreled boxlocks are a pretty narrow window in the development of double rifles.
Westley Richards examples are particularly desirable imho.
Very nice grouping for not seeing the front sight clearly!
Marvelous stuff!

she killed the paper stone dead with the first shot

casper, your body size is a little bit above average or the double is build very graceful für a .500.
It looks small in your hands, more like a 8 mm.

Same height, Casper, but you're lightweight.
Good stuff!

I try to keep the weight off but it's getting harder since my feet hurt whenever I am on them.

Wish I was only 200 again. With the knees and back it's hard. On one meal a day - of course, must have some "suds". LOL

Taking me awhile to work out how to hold the barrels with the left hand and still support them on the sticks. Not much room.

Mike,

That is a verynice rifle and video. Good shooting.

I also have problems with seeing iron sights so I had a pair of trifocal shooting glasses made with the right side lens inverted so the top of the glasses is for close up focusing. These glasses allow me to see pistol & rifle sights.

Daryl, I also am on a one meal a day routine. I start earing when I wake up and stiop eating when I go to bed. Still having problems losing weight.

LOL- can't do that any more, but there was such a time when I overate. Then, I could not gain weight - stayed 185 from grade 9 at 14yrs. old to about 1998 at 48yrs. old. Couldn't gain weight no matter what I ate.
Things are different now.
