Good looking guns, Tom. The Jaeger's stock is more fitting for this style of rifle than my bro's. Too, it is of a slightly earlier period, I think.

Friend of mine, lives in New York, has just completed a beautiful 14 bore Stutzen - very fancy, with incredible engraving, charcoal bluing, etc. The blue is blue and looks to be a foot deep. Incredible!.

As for a hunting rifle, they are better than anything else, excepting the English Sporting rifle's of the late flint or percussion era. Nothing fits as an English gun for a hunting rifle, BUT, the Jaeger's are close.

Back in the 70's, I had a Curly G. 12 bore trade gun and at 5 1/2 pounds, it pounded me horridly, evenwith a light 3 dram charge & developed a flinch I'm still working on.
