Mickey,

Yes it started life as a .303 and was re-bored to the .35 WCF around 2002. Excellent choice as very little metal was removed and the operating pressure is a bit less than the 303. It's very dainty. I can take my thumb and middle finger around the body and not touch the gun.

Funny how I came to own this rifle. In 2005 I started the double addiction with a Merkel .375 H&H, then after a couple of years was ready for a British pre-war double, but still really liked the medium bore double AND the .375 H&H.

Champlins had this in my price range and after researching the .35 WCF I snatch it. I sold the Merkel and this year was able to fund a left handed CFR .375 Dakota.

So perfect are these two rifles (IMO) that I'm selling off everything except my .458 H-1 tropical for a three gun battery.
