As a tribute to the Roe deer we were commissioned a few years ago to build this beautifully scaled hand detachable lock double rifle in 9.3 x 62 calibre. Weighing a mere 6lb 14ozs the rifle is fitted with Westley Richards patent single selective trigger, a slim semi beavertail forend and open sights regulated at 100 yards for relatively close range hunting.
In this calibre the rifle is primarily intended for the great Spanish 'Monterias' where you might also encounter big Red Stags, Fallow Bucks and huge Wild Boar. Nevertheless, it makes a super compact and quick handling woodland rifle and would certainly be great fun to use during the Roe Buck rut in late July/early August when the deer can be called to within yards of the hunter!

Hi Ned
The rifle is a proper ejector. The actual extractors have sprung loaded claws in them that the cartridges ride over when slipped in, but lift and eject once the gun is fired and opened. We regulated for RWS 285 grain soft point round nose.
Best regards
Trigger

Hi Peter
The sights are indeed express regulated at 50/100 yards. If we get the chance we will take a full size shot but busy keeping up with everything else in the photo studio at the moment!
All the best
Trigger
