Thread: Drillings/combination guns

Drilling/combination guns are a way of getting "two guns in one" for organised driven European Hunts.The Rifle might be used for shots just out of shotgun range,not shooting Deer at 100m.

They arnt designed to be carried far,they are bloody heavy.

My advise would be to get a decent used rifle fitted with a custom stock and practice untill you can hit running rabbits using open sights.

I'm no longer pursuing the idea of combo gun. Just more trouble than it's worth.

The trajectory thing is a valid point to consider.

Cheers.

I think you should keep pursuing the idea, surely someone makes/made a combo gun with half a dozen different barrels to cover all bases. 22lr, .223, 7x57r, 7x65r, 12ga, 410ga, perfect combo in one handy package

So you want to be my caddie (following me around the bush with a bag full of barrels and a wrench)? I really like that idea.

What else can you do? What about making sandwiches and cups of tea?

Greetings Frodo,
All sorts of interesting ideas form in the minds of those of us lucky enough to own, use and enjoy firearms. Some fade forever but others return again and again, in some form, unhindered by any decision we may make in our conscious mind. I suspect your Bock drilling idea may be one of the latter. My recurring idea has been single shot rifles, Ruger No 1's in particular. While a Ruger No 1 has not appeared in the cupboard to date a .30-40 Martini and a Bergara break open .308 have and will probably suffice. Enjoy the journey you mind takes you on and please update us from time to time.
Regards Grandpamac.
