Anyone seen one of these?
They definitely look the goods. Not stupidity expensive, slightly lighter than a Lithgow. And just a bit different.

I would want to see one in the flesh first and give it a good examination to see how it's constructed before I would buy it . Just because they made great shotguns does not mean they can make a good rifle first time around .
I don't even like Lithgow's but I think it would be the better choice of the two .

A 5/8×24 TPI thread suggests that it is not the barrel tenon, if it has one, but the muzzle that is threaded for a muzzle attachment.
Likely to fit one of the 'must have' accoutrements for younger shooters who have been educated on the ways of shooting via youtube bombast.

Yep, definitely needs some looking at.
Side note, what do you dislike about the Lithgows?
