Very nice indeed. Superb lines to the reinforcing, nice strap over comb.

The only think I don't like, and it is very minor
is the tear drop shape on the stock, looks to me
at the wrong angle / shape.

But overall a beauty.

You have some fine firearms already Adam and this will only raise the bar further.

No doubt we will see it drapped cross Elephant,Buffalo,Lion and other sundries which I look forward to.

Adam,

Great looking DR, I especially like the rounded action, can't wait to see it in the flesh.

It was to be ready towards the end of this month but as it was just to close to Safari dates I asked them to hold off on delivery until I get back. Will take the 458 and 9.3 this season.

Nice Adam. Looking forward to see how it shoots for you.

Will it be ready for your annual trip to Mozambique or other exotic parts of Africa?

I like the factory engraving job too, but the photos are a bit indistinct.

Did you buy it through Ken - Verney-Carron USA?

Yes, I'm dealing with Ken from Verney-Carron US. So far so good.
Won't be ready for this season's Safari but there's always next year.

Very nice !!! I love the top strap, difficult to inlet , but oh so worth it ! A real touch of class.
The French are certainly making some fine guns.
Congratulations,
Robert

Eish - beaut - congrats

Still - I wish it will travel and serve you well!
