Yes, that is the gun. I love her, she turned out to be a well used rifle that had been expertly refinished so I obtained a price adjustment. Appears to shoot well but haven't finished working up loads, will do some pressure testing on reloads this weekend. Shoots a shade low but my current reloads are slow, (105 grs IMR 4831) around 1950 fps and I am not increasing them untill I am set up to pressure test. Will also try a Hodgon powder. Rifling is sharp but bores lightly pitted, chambers are corroded but no problem with Jamison brass, with Federal factory ammo the cases swell a little which I don't like. The rear sight is also a replacment which may be why she is low. I had to have new strikers fitted and the hammers adjusted.

She is a real pussy cat to shoot and I didn't find the 11.5 lbs to heavy in Africa, but at that weight she gives me the incentive to keep fit.
