Thread: Small bore double rifle.

Rather like the 8x57 jrs have been using this in a mates gun in France for the last few years.....it stops shit
Not bad on the shoulder either.

I'd go 7x57r, double rifles are hardly long range prospects and as such the 7x57 would have more than enough energy to do the job.

7x57R all the way

At what range are you going to regulate the barrels. Most are about 50 Metres, close range rifles., .303 maybe 150metres. Get the book Shooting the Double Rifle by Graeme Wright and have a read.

303 or 30/30 or 7-30Walters or 375Win would all work

Here ya go there’s a few on here.

Hell it`s a no brainer, it`s patently clear that a double gun needs to be !!!, 45-70 cal, a hole heap of fun and will pole axe anything.

.22hp savage.......... or as the wise fella above has said..the mighty .45/70

Well I've sent an message off, ordered a second Barrel in 7x57R, and a 30 mm mount and rail,
Now wait till Aug/ September, for it to be built and shipped.

500
450/400

have you thought about trying some mild loads in the 9.3x74?
I wounder what sort of velocity you would get with the 9.3 and a case full of trailboss?

Price per KG like in the supermarket might be a bit scary, you reckon...?????

And I checked out the other pictures. That centre fire round (Or should that be small artillery piece?) must weigh more than the rifle....

That humming bird,double rifle sure is nice, problem with browsing, small bore double rifles, is one needs a lotto win, to afford the ones that really look nice. Sigh
The Fair I-side hammer double SxS rifle, I just priced was $6300 cad, $1400 for an extra 28ga shot gun barrel, the barrels set for my current SxS Safari, are likely going to be 2800-3000 depending on exchange.
I like a Merkel 141, but they twice the price,
I've got a few nice bolt actions, cooper's, sakos, and Law etc, but start playing with doubles, (shotguns or rifles)and things get expensive real quick.
