I had one made by Westley Richards. 16 bore. Light as a feather, murder off the bench.

Good stuff.
Interesting rear sight position differences.
2nd from bottom might be my choice.
Thanks

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, I love those English sporting rifles. Second from top and second from bottom are my favorites of that group. Beautiful rifles @Feltwad !

The rifle second from the bottom is a very small calibre what I would say is a pea rifle or a fore runner to a rook rifle enclose is a close up image

What's up with the gizmo on the front of the trigger guard?

Not quite sure but I think it is a type of hand guard for a left hand if shooting from the right hand another unusual is the position of the trigger
