Gentlemen,
as a question arised whether the Scheiring DR has a checkering or not:
My friend Fritz allowed me to inspect his Scheiring rifle once again and there was no checkering.
As the recoil of the two calibers does not require checkering for keeping a grip and the figures of the wood are better to see without, the wood surface of rifle was left smooth.
best regards
Rolf

Rolf, it´s a lovely rifle but wouldn´t that big top lug complicate fast reloading ? best, Mike

Hello Mike,
you are right that the big lug on the top of the barrels protudes a bit, but during my handling the rifle ist was not so bad as being an obstacle for quick reloading!
Also the rifle was purchased for hunting Africans plains game where a quick reload is desirable but not essential (in comparism to having a discussion with buffalo at 10 yards...)
For this kind of hunting Fritz relies on a Johannsen 500 Jeffery (Magnum System, of course) or an Orth .416 Rigby, or on a beatiful stocked Heym .500 DB, so there is no desperate need for a .375 H&H DR to be used...
