I hope some day I can tell my wife she spent too much on a hunting gun! 😉

Nice rifle.

That gun sold at James D Julia in their Spring 2013 auction for $20,700, and that includes the buyer’s premium of 15%. If you read the auction listing, it also describes the gun as "very fine as restored". That is not mentioned in this listing. This gun has been for sale for quite awhile, that and the new price is probably why. Still nice rifle though. Works of art.

I didn’t like the gold on the receiver. Most gold that I have seen does not flake off.
