Hello fallschirmjaeger,

Thanks for the reply.

I use a set of 3-leg shooting sticks.

Have you examined the extension rib workings to determine whether it is a Scott screw grip or just a plain lug without screw assistance?

Hello All,

I have an update for my Verney Carron .475 No.2 NE. I found a very nice "Vintage" Hard Case for my "Vintage" rifle. It appeared on Ebay a few months back. It had a "make-an-offer" option, so last week I made an offer that the seller accepted. He told me that the case belonged to his Father and that the gun it contained was sold a long time ago. His Father's initials are on the top. He said the case was from the 1920's or 30's, so that period fits the date of my VC rifle. In addition, the case was "French" with an original "Gastinne Renette" - "Paris" label. I don't know anything about him, but when I "Googled" the name, I found several photos of some find guns that he produced.

As I've done with many other vintage cases, I reconfigured the inside to fit the VC rifle. I even added an original "VC" label to dress it up a bit.
