Finding the one gun

Like other members here your opinion is worth far more than two cents. I'm still debating if and if I do what pattern.
I think a nice 29-24 lpi old time pattern would be nice. Don't want any of this fancy skipline or fleur de lis. That would be to much

Bob I agree, keep it simple but elegant.

I appreciate that.

Definitely simple fine line checkering. It will still allow the dark grain to shine through if done right.

Regardless, that's a cool rifle. Cool caliber as well. I need to own a single shot.

My gunsmith said an old english wrap around borderless 20 or 22 lpi would look good and give good grip whereas the 24lpi may be to fine and the diamonds would flatten quicker over time.
I think the forend need to be slimmer and a border each side but he thinks a nice wrap around check.
Thought from all appreciated
