Damn, I love those clamshell action DR's. I couldn't resist posting that beauty.

Some interesting features I note:

- A straight "English" style stock. Unusual on a German double.

- Beautiful horn trigger guard. Not unusual on a German double, but I don't recall seeing one on a straight grip.

- Spring loaded cover on the cartridge magazine. Unusual.

- A Blitz or "trigger plate" action. Distinctly German. I don't recall seeing a Blitz action in clamshell configuration before this, although that may be my shortcoming. The ones I recall have all been Anson & Deeley.

- The rear claw scope mount would be considered "backward". Note the bite is forward, rather than to the rear of the claws. Before this the only one like that I recall seeing is the one I own. I discussed this with Lee LeBass, an expert on claw mounts. He said he had never seen one set up like this.

- You just have to love the arcaded fences.

- Ejectors are present.

- Note the fold-down rear sight. Made to accommodate the rear aperture sight.

Cool rifle for sure!
