If I didn't just make another SXS purchase recently, I'd be gearing up to take a swing at this one. If it were mine, it would be the first shotgun I've owned that I would plan to have a leather covered recoil pad installed on. I'm ok with 26" bbls. That one looks well proportioned to me, and I wonder though if they aren't a wee bit longer than 26". Would like to see more pics of the inside/underside of bbls and action. 2.5" DAH is my limit. WOnder if it has any cast?
Regarding this model looking different than other grade 18s; weren't Francottes custom built to the buyers specification of available options? It's also an Abercrombie & Fitch, which might account for the variables. My Belgian Superposed is an Abercrombie & Fitch version which came with a hand rubbed oil finish not used that year on the standard Browning models.
