Remington40x:

Thanks for the ref. but the article was what sparked this research.



Robert Schuler - I handled this massive Behemoth at the Vintagers. I wanted to check the proofmarks but at the time I couldn't find the owner. I did however find a fella dressed in proper attire with a handlebar mustache that volunteered to be a gun bearer and was just the right height to supply a shoulder as a prop for shooting. You wouldn't have to worry about out pacing the dangerous game. He would have been greatly handicapped by weight of the longarm.

Now I would guess Schuler sourced Merkel for the action.

Kind Regards,

Raimey
