Well over 10 years ago I ordered some rifles and paid those. But I had no time to pick up the same. I think soon is the time.

When I was a child my father had a Ferlach double in 375 H&H, a lefty like yours. He also had two of their shotguns. I hoped they would be mine someday but his wife is a gun hater so he sold them to John Amber when he was still in charge of the gun ro...
