some photos of my 9.3x74r jefferys double rifle, and a hungarian boar

Awesome rifle, I love the figured walnut. There is a lot of mass on that brute of a pig. Congrats on both.

I've never seen any that were built of oversized actions, but it could happen I guess.

yes that is what happened with most of the rigby doubles made in .350 no2, which was the rimmed version of the .350 rigby nitro express, plus any of the other calibres of similar dimension that became obsolete, but the converted rifles still go 10lbs plus, i have seen some pushing 11lbs, they are balanced but heavy.

some photos just emailed to me showing it a bit closer up
