Souinds nice Jack. The English do indeed make a light 12 and with the equivalent of RST 2 1/2 shells it should be a joy to shoot.

Be ever thankfull that you don't suffer from "rifleitus" also. The pre 64 M70 in 264 came in Monday and it's new unfired:shock: Now the delima, do I shoot it or stick it in the safe and go out and find another one?

Rich,
I've got some time on my hands. Give me the 264 and I'll work up a load and break in the barrel for you. I just loaded some 220 Swift and some 7x57 ammo.
Just need a break in the weather and off to the range I go. Beats doing house work.

that is why they invented tripods and time release shutters :cheers:

An old Boswell of mine...I have no complaints and guess it would rate discussion in "Other Fine Doubles" (referring to the original question).

Definitely qualifies as "other fine doubles". A wonderful piece of art. Hope it also gets exercised from time to time.
Cheers,
