Update on the Francotte........
The two pics show 2 rights and 2 lefts at 100 yds. using the Federal Fusion Lite (170 gr. @ 2,000fps)load which is about 30-30 power; barrels open easily and ejection is strong. This is as close as I could get it to shoot without spending many hours reloading and shooting as I have been unable to bribe Skeetx into applying his loading bench magic. This will do for the range I'll use the gun this fall; shots at 100 yds. or less. For sure, this Francotte does NOT like regular power 30-06 ammo. Standard velocity 150 and 180 gr. loads crossfired with hard to open barrels and sticky ejection. I'm still thinking it was regulated with 220 gr. bullets at about 2200fps.
Jagermeister, the Nickel scope is an old one (the gun was made in 1927)but is exceptionally clear with positive adjustments and and adjustable eyepiece that allows you to focus to extreme sharpness. Anyway, it will be fun to take hunting a couple of times before it probably gets sold or traded for some Winchester 21's.
