never seen one... is this a double rifle? What caliber? What style? Post a picture of it if you can and the sights. It would be very interesting.

DANG! That a fine looking rifle Jeep. Never seen one of those before. As I type this I noticed my fingers are beginning to turn green with envy.

that really is a beautiful rifle you have there. I would like to know more about that. I checked my Thompson Center source, and there is not a mention of a Express rifle. You might really have some thing there.

I've seen pictures of that express model before. It has express flip sights which allow for the rapid change of sights from short range to long range.
I don't recall much else about it other than it was a limited production model and that's it's heavier, has a longer barrel and a pistol grip stock.
Is the twist rate listed on the barrel?
