Raimey,
Been reading the new Drillings book, on loan from friend. Inspirational. That new French SxS drilling is neat-o, and the rifled-rib rimfires seem quite useful for Canada geese, but if only the game warden doesnt notice them here!!! And man o man, are they waaaayahead of us on contemporary sub-caliber inserts.
Great to see such craftsmanship, and gain an understanding of the assorted actions, makers, and technical pluses and minuses.
Makes a hammer zweiling look rather simple. One use for which drillings would be practically useful here, is furred varmint calling, as in coyotes. I'm not sure that Ferlacher's would quite know what to make of their 30,000.00 dollar creation swathed in winter-night white camo, but what the heck. If it's made to use, why not? Now THERE would be a custom order, replete with American corn stubble and a John Deere tractor in the background.
It'll be a while before the gun in my shop gets a decision, but should it prove to be too hot to hold, so to speak, you may get notification to prepare asbestos mittens. ;~`)
