I think a .577 x 2 3/4 Light Nitro on a Martini-Henry single shot action would be quite cool. In the past always thought a side by side double is the only way to go, but a single shot would ne better than nothing!

How good or how bad should the MH be? Good enough to use but not good enough to upset any purists with "destroying" a rifle?

My Rosier sporting .577/450 would make a dandy conversion. But way too good to spoil by converting.

What sort of style would one go for?

Something like the Rosier?

Or a full wood to the muzzle stutzen style?

Anyone have any tips on which gunsmiths in Australia would be good for doing the job? Thanks.
