I only have a few hammer doubles, all bigger bores. I have a Rodda 4 bore, Holland & Holland 8 bore, and Holland & Holland howdah pistol in .577 Snyder (pretty sure that still counts eventhough it’s a pistol). All are Jones under lever guns and very fun. Have not gotten to hunt with them yet unfortunately but would like to do so.

@vette447 would be great see your rifles & Howdah pistol, do you by chance have or know the load for the .577 Snider in a Howdah ?

I have a new to me Rodda in .577 Snider & it looks to have the full length chamber in .577 Snider, but it is very small, my .577 Snider sporting rifle is much larger/Heavier & that has a bit of push back !
 
If I ever get a double rifle I’m hoping for a .450/400 3 1/4” nitro with hammers.
Or a .475 3 1/4” hammerless.
 
Anyone has any experience using a (modern NE) double rifle with hammers, for the hunting of dangerous game? Not as a one off, but extensive use?
 
Thank you! Yes sir, it sure is. It has a neat little two cartridge trap on it, I’ve not seen one that small personally. Flip up aperature and a flip up ivory bead front sight too.
 
I have a Sauer double in 11.2x60r with a flip up aperture. It has accounted for several black bear for me over the years. The German and Austrian doubles are great rifles!
Enjoy your Scherping!
 
@Themauserkid That is a real screamer...............I shot a 9.3x72 a few times. The 232 grain bullet at reasonable velocity was a pleasure to launch. totally jealous. Have several hammer guns............this is my fav..............FWB

They are my favorite for sure. I’m also partial to Sauer, nice to hear about one still being used!

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
