Description: This is a pre-owned W.R. Pape single shot Semi Smoothbore in .297/250 Rook, a cartridge that Holland & Holland brought out around 1900. The cartridge is considered as the smallest of the true Rook rounds as it was designed especially for this purpose rather than being an adaptation of another cartridge. It fired a 56 grain bullet using 6½ grains of black powder giving a velocity of 150 fps and 165 Ft. lbs. at the muzzle. H&H employed what they termed as their Semi Smoothbore barrel in an effort to prevent bore fouling which is an ever present problem with the old black powder rounds in such a narrow tube. .297/250 Rook SOLD Metal Condition: Mostly in the white with scattered freckling and pitting Wood Condition: "Good overall, with light to moderate handling wear and a repaired crack on the fore end Bore Condition: Clean and bright Semi Smoothbore Barrels: 27" octogonal Stock Dimensions: 14 1/4" LOP Fore End: Checkered walnut Butt Pad: Grooved butt Weight: 4 Lbs. 4 Oz.
