...your rifle has 3 1/4" chambers,
shoots a 10d load and weighs 1 lb less than mine which has
shorter chambers and is for a lighter load. I have carried
my 15 1/2lb around for hours stalking pigs in the brush
and it gets real heavy after the first hour. Do you have
any hunting with yours planned?
Good luck

hey Raff.

I have arrangements already of shooting pigs in Sweden.

I am pretty settld with the 10bore @ 14.5 Ibs. It doesn`t get bulky, and heavy.
The 10 is, I think, very proporsionate.
An 17Ibs 8bore would be something test of manhood. I haven`t tried yet..but I can imagine its heavy for carrying all day in a "ready position" with barrels pointing foreward...hahaha.

I have looked at Westley Richards homepage, and I really like their boxlock actioned double.
One when ordering( one day) their .577 3 1/4,", I´ll adapt some of the features I have on my 10. Full length filecutted barrelrips, 6" forend with leverlatch + the stock measurements. Sights must be alike aswell.. weighing no more than 13.5 Ibs.
