Offering for sale my antique pre-1898 WR 12ga. This shotgun has newer sleeved barrels with no legible lettering on the rib. It has working ejectors and is chambered for 2 3/4” shells. It shoots delightfully with 1oz light target loads.

It has a wood stock extension that crawls it into a 15.75” LOP, could be easily removed for a rubber pad. 28” barrels choked mod/skeet. 1 5/8” on the comb and 2” on the heel.
The bores are good as well as the mechanicals. The photos tell the tale of furniture condition. No notable damage, just 130 years of field use. Excellent field gun and as cheap as a good WR gets.
I have history on this site, gunsinternational, and gunbroker.

This antique ships FREE to your door for $1400

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
