I had three Scott’s a 10 that was my grandfathers and a 12 an 20 that previously were owned by a Mr. Peters of Peters Cartridge fame . But they weren’t hammer guns but rather crystal indicator guns . The 12 and 20 are gone but the 10 will be with u til they throw me in the box .

That first gun sure has a nice buttstock. Is it factory or replacement?

That’s original and a nice shooting 10 . That guns in really good shape overall . The only restock I have is this one , it started life as a PG then when restocked changed to straight grip , it was also sent to Belgium to have a set of fluid steel 3 1/2” chambered barrels fitted to the gun and once back here the new barrels got Briley thin wall screw ins . So now it’s kind of a bastard two barrel set .
