I wanted one of those but the price doubled very quickly.
What are they called, the Professional Hunter?

A friend, and fellow member bought an RBL 30+ years ago, and never even took the tissue paper off the barrels. Complete with the case. I put another friend together with him and he bought it. We took it down to New Britain and Tony and I BS'd about the 40 years over the dam since we met. My friend has orangutan arms, so he left it with Lou and we picked it back up a week later, NC. Now, at 15" LOP, my friend leaves only broken chips. Mssrs Anson and Deeley would be pleased. I liked the Christian Hunter but had to settle for another old Parker.

Yes that's it. They retail for 5K. I kind of wish they made a 12 gauge one. The 20 is fine for deer, I'm sure. They have a nice looking, plausible barrel band regulating system. If a 45-70 version, or better yet a 405 Winchester, was offered I would own one by now.
