I don't think i'd own a gun that i wouldn't hunt with. I mean i certainly wouldn't throw my drilling in the back of a pu unprotected, but i've drug it all over the bush on all kinds of hunts, and it's certainly not all beat up. It's flown one heck of a lot of miles to and from hunts in the back of a bush plane.

I'd rather have one really high quality gun the way i want it, than 40 common ones in a safe. In fact, i sold one heck of a lot of bolt action rifles after getting this drilling.

My drilling was built in Oct. of 1935, and it's now the way i want it, how could i not hunt with it?? :&gt)) French walnut stock, swamped rib, claw mounts, choke tubes, side clips, left hand safety, insert bbls., rust blueing and bone color case finish, and much much more.
