Anyone into drillings?

[Jeff Christie]

The short answer is no.

The longer answer is - Some where I have a few black and whites I made for an insurance policy of upgraded custom engraving and inlay work I had done to it. The gun was actually a gift to my 1 yr old son from a very aged old friend. I got it in 1973 or early 74. It is buried so deep in the safe I'd have a hard time getting it all back in. (There is a message there- time to sell some stuff as come) Besides I don't know how to get pictures from a digital camera or cell phone onto the web site. It is a very pretty gun. The wood is well figured and contrasts light and dark as I remember. The checkering is very ordinary. The receiver is "Frenched" and I had a wonderful boar inlaid in the bottom of the receiver by Werner Schuch (a pal of my father's from his days in Wiesbaden). I wish it were a 7x57R as JP Sauer made them with shorter barrels. The 7x65R barrels are 65 cm long as I remember while the 7x57Rs were several cm's shorter (63.5??). It is an incredibly accurate gun for its type as the barrel is stiffened by the pair of 16 barrels over it. It would be a wonderful gun to hunt where you might run into a deer (and rifles are permitted). I am thinking of using it to hunt grouse in the North Woods of Wisconsin as there has been a drastic and dangerous increase in wolf populations. Two #1 buckshot loads and a 7/65R would be a good dose of life and dog insurance. I guess I could use it here as we have a lot of coyotes. They aren't much of a danger as they are so shy. Not so wolves.
