Thread: Drillings/combination guns

I had a Valmet 412 in the 80's, with a couple of shottie barrel-sets, a 308 double rifle and a 222/12ga combo.

The 308 barrels got taken hunting a few times, they shot well and were good fun on goats in the Catlins bush where you only ever got one or two shots (and none of us had semi's except a guy called Mike who had an Armalite AR18 as I recall, but I think it might have been a tiny bit "illegal").

The 222/12 ga was something else again, the 222 shot as well as any subsequent 222 or 223 bolt gun I've had, pretty consistently round the 1/2 moa mark. I shot hundreds of Wallabies with it, was ideal for wandering round the coast side of the Hunters, wallabies from close in in the bush to +300M were goners.

The 243/20ga combo that was on TM recently tempted me severely . . .
