Not sure this one is a model 30 as of right now-it has a pistol grip, and some very light engraving on the case colored action and the breech balls-rather uninspired looking leaves with some shading. Definitely an Uggy, and definitely a boxlock.
A quick round of clays put us both in a good frame of mind-the thing smashes them with authority, both for the right handed friend and left handed your's truly. Just a touch of cast in the stock, not enough to bother my shooting from the other side. Very nicely balanced, decent trigger pulls, nothing amiss anywhere that I could see.
Told him if he wants to part company with it someday, to give me a call. Best buy I've seen on a double in a long, long while.
I could use a big 12. 3" magnum chambers and a stout level of proof. Good pheasant medicine in nasty weather.
Wish I'd have seen it first!
Thanks for your help, fellows.
Best,
Ted
