I take it you're a big fan of the Bulino engraving that the Italians do all the time? Hardly! ... I like engraving from the old masters, like Joseph Loy ...   SxS only

Photo bucket extortionist images totally blocked unless you're using the unblocks on Chrome or Firefox which don't work on Safari or other servers. Why continue to support those hostage takers and file your photos with them? They're going bankrupt in a year anyway.

I'll use just about any site, as long as they are FREE. And as you can see by my number of postings, wouldn't care if they all went bankrupt.

If I find that hammergun, Jon, a few pre-selected doubles will be for sale, too. But, it will be well worth it.

It just continues to work for me in spite of all the people telling me it doesn't. And, I have never paid them a dime. I'm not sold out to them, just saying'. Photo posted courtesy photobucket  SRH

 Not double guns, but a brace of .255 rook rifles for your enjoyment. A .300 Sherwood thread is probably as close to appropriate as ever to post these, especially since the Boss was originally a .300 Sherwood and was relined to .255 in period. The upper example was retailed/finished by Purdey and the lower by Boss.

Beauties Owen. Sadly a lot of Rook Rifles here in England were bored out to .410 shotgun when the Ammo became obsolete.
.300 Sherwood 140 grain lead bullet at 1400 f.p.s. giving 610 ft.lbs. Absolutely not a deer cartridge unless putting an injured road casualty down at point blank with a head shot. Might be a good one for turkey hunting though. Lagopus.....

I love rook and cadet rifles and have a few with my personal favorite being a Greener gun that is spooky accurate. I haven't seen a Boss rook before...and no flies on the Purdey either! Nice.

The Purdey is actually the better finished gun with nice large scroll all the way around. It is in pristine original condition. I even have its original case with every accessory!Fortunately I was able to source some ammunition from Rocky Mountain cartridge. Despite the low velocity, at short range they are amazingly accurate on small game.

First let me say that I am not recommending this, BUT, A lot of whitetail deer have been killed in the US at least with the .32WCF (32-20). Normal load for this cartridge was a 115 grain bullet @ around 1300 FPS if memory serves me correct. Dave Scovill of Handloader/Rifle magizine stated that while he was NOT recommending it as a deer rifle an acquaintance of his had used one to fill his deer tag 16 years in a row. Back in the early 1980's qs I recall a story made news in several outdoor magazines of a mounted deer head being purchased at a yard sale by the nephew of an old man who had killed it many years previously in Wisconsin along a tributary to the St Croix river. Upon measurement it stood for several years as the record Typical Whitetail. It had been taken with a .32-20. I didn't save any of the articles but the story was quite amazing. Perhaps someone here is familiar with it & can provide some details. I do also recall of an account of an Eskimo Girl while out picking blackberries killing a record Grizzly with a single shot rifle firing .22 longs.
