I finally have the CERTUS in hand; Steve Bertram did his usual quality job of refreshing the metal. Pick up some of the engraving, fill bigger pits on action ring, polish, and rust blue.
The stock finish and checkering did not need any attention.

Interesting to finally get to play with it, one thing that struck me right away is that specific rifle is a no kidding "two shooter". The "flush" magazine allows only 2 down and does NOT facilitate closing on those 2 while putting one "up the pipe".
There was a "drop magazine" option that would allow 3 down.

Now to get some ammo loaded up….will be adhering to the equivalent of the period Kynoch .450/.400 "Certus" loading of 56 grains Cordite and 400 grain bullet.
66 grains Reloader 15 (56 x 1.19 = 66) and a 400 Woodleigh will be the target.

Pictures in a couple of days.
