Looks like a really nice sidelock drilling would like to see more pics of it. My pre -war drillings have 2.5" or 65mm chambers so I haven't been able to shoot slugs until this 2.5" product from Brenneke was released. I have been using it with good success. Have you tested it?

Are your scope bases the Akah type slide on or claw?

I dunno what you call the mounts but it hooks in the front base and snaps closed in the rear .

I wouldn't be surprised if the chambers in this gun aren't 2 9/16" but I've been shooting 2 3/4" in it with no ill effects .

I have two other hammer drillings that are 16 gauge but I'm a bit apprehensive to shoot these factory loads in them so I just reload #1 Buck for them .
Incidently I ordered some more of these Brenneke slugs from Jerry's last week and happened to notice they have a goodly supply of the 2 1/2" slugs as well for a few more cents a box .

I think if I get motivated to go to the range next week I'll take some factory loaded buckshot for this drilling and see how it does at 25 yards again . I know I have Federal and Winchester on the shelf downstairs but I may have some Remington as well . If I'm not mistaken when I tried the chokes a year or two ago with the flat gauge both barrels were tight and tighter .
