Rockdoc,

Thank you for that detailed response. It makes perfect sense to me.

The rifle i am considering is a Fraser .450-400 3 1/4 BPE that is probably from about the same period as the 1891 Woodward on your website, possibly a bit later. (There was a nearly identical rifle in the Amoskeag April sale) Actually, it was the fact that the Woodward had been re-proofed with the original barrels that got me thinking about it in the first place. The Woodward is a gorgeous rifle by the way.

When I first began thinking about double rifles, it was a Holland pre-war sidelock in .375 flanged or 500/465 that I had to have. Then I started thinking about English and Continental boxlocks and finally decided the Fraser (Scottish of course) is the most appealing boxlock to my eye.
