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

Legal bolt action double-barrel rifle is 2x5+2 capacity.

But seriously, no don't think he'd have a problem...probably...as long as it is registered and it is your only centrefire rifle.

I suspect that the price alone will ensure it is the only one you will own.....There is only so many times you can double down on a mortgage....

It sounds like you will shoot more accurately with the 7x57R as acromio-clavicular joints do not toughen up in response to repeat abuse. )-:

Thinking of rimmed cartridges, there is one large-case, rimmed .30 calibre you did not mention, the 7.62x54R Russian. With its fat rim and wide shoulders it would just LOOK and feel right, in a steampunk kind of way, as you slip two of them into the breech(es).

Wonder if we'll see more double barrel rifles used in the NZ bush, now semis are out. Fuchs make double bolt action rifles in the whole spectrum of calibres right down to their .17HMR Hummingbird.

What is that rifle and How much....? It is gorgeous so I suspect another mortgage is n the way....

A review: https://www.range365.com/double-barr...-action-rifle/

The maker's site: Fine Guns - Fuchs Fine Guns

I note that they resurrected Lee's fast short-pull rear locker action to make it all possible.

My though is, why not make something like this without frills....like the difference between a Gold Plated Thompson SMG versus a Sten Gun 'plumbing pipe' look SMG, instead of the current obviously over expensive and steampunk looking. The "Russian Five", which looks like a cross between a Faberge egg and the Nautilus from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie, yet it is also their pride and joy with extensive use of titanium steel, allowing a 4kg light double barrel bolt action with a total capacity of six shots.

Not the sort of gun you accidentally leave behind on a fence post when you open and close a gate.

I see it in 375 H&H....6 in the mag and two in the chamber at $10 a pop, is $80 just to load it....

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?

I want a Peter Hofer Humminbirdrifle in .17HMR - Worldwide smallest and lightest double barrel rifle at 2.2lb

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....
