Description:
The Beaumont rifle is the first purpose-built cartridge rifle to be used by the Netherlands. The Dutch briefly used percussion firearms converted using the Snider breech loading system but this was only a temporary measure while the trials for the new rifle held. The rifle presented here is a Beaumont-Vitali model 1871/88 as it has been retrofitted with a 4-shot Vitali box magazine. This rifle was manufactured by P. Stevens of Maastricht which was contracted to produce the majority of Beaumont rifles.The rifle chambers the 11x52R Beaumont cartridge . A more powerful version of the cartridge was introduced in 1878 with a heavier bullet, which resulted in the need for a new rear sight for longer ranges. The rear sight was designed by the French army captain P.J in de Betou and sighted up to 1800m. The rear sight elevator has a small sliding tab which when pushed forward prevents the sight from being set below 250m.
