What is the make of the rifle?

For pigs, whitetail, black bear and elk, I've never found anything as satisfying to hunt with as one of the lighter British medium bore doubles.

That sounds like my sentiments on hunting with pre-war Winchester lever actions (and I'll bet that ballistically the .33 WCF, .35 WCF, .30-'03 GOV'T, .405 WCF, etc. are close to many of the medium-bore DR's). Unfortunately the value of the deluxe models I've been hunting with for the last decade or so has gone sky-high and I'm no longer comfortable taking the risk of permanently damaging them. A double rifle looks like a fun substitute for open-sight hunting, just need to find the right one.
