Agreed about the swivels. I have never carried a shotgun with a strap and a rifle only occasionally on a tough climb or just totally pooped at the end of a day. I would rather not have original barrels tampered with but every custodian along the way has their own preferences. I like originality when I can find it.
Should I ever again go for blue grouse in the pictured world below, I might just put a strap on this VH. Cheers, Jack

These guys hang out with the blue grouse
