    Wow.Did you see the H&H .303 double rifle in the same auction?
    It would make a great bush rifle.

    Holts had a Boss&Co 303 double rifle that had been missing for 70 years and was found in Japan.

    It shot well and the gunsmithing was good, but I suspect the client had fitted the fore end because it had huge gaps and didn't touch any of the right places.
    I still have to epoxy bed and touch up the gaps to my new barrel
