I would suggest you contact the German Gun Collectors Association. They have members who are experts on these guns. I've only owned a few, but the early guns like this one are interesting. They usually open with the undercover and allow selecting the rifle barrel with the top lever. The front...

I've been using 5744 for a long time. I started with cast bullets, then later used it for jacketed loads. Be EXTREMELY CAREFUL. You are typically in the 40% of case capacity range. It is easy to get a double charge that you might miss. I charge and seat each cartridge as a single unit. With...

Edit: but not in real big bores. Bfly

I've owned both in 45 caliber and under, but in real big bores. I prefer the OU in a a shotgun and a BBF, and thought I would prefer the same in a rifle. I prefer SS in a rifle. I find I aim better with the OU with the single visible barrel. Second shots don't feel much different to me. But...

Some better photos.

For your consideration, 4 and a half boxes of 100, 350 grain, gas checked .416 cast bullets, by Montana Bullet Works. I used these in my 416Taylor. They were according to what I've been able to piece together, apparently originally made to be used in a project to 410 rifle project of some kind...

These are 2 Lothar Walther Gewehr-Einstecklauf adapters to fire 22LR cartridges in a 9.3x74R. I used these in a number of doubles and drillings over the years. They will not make a double into a 100 yard squirrel rifle, but with allowance for drop, the will flip a can. I used to suspend and...

I agree with Frederik and Rubberhead, good advice. No one has mentioned little guys. Steinbok and other small antelope can add some pretty enjoyable hunting time at low cost. Just enjoy every minute of the whole process. Bfly

I might be wrong, but I believe Savage makes a 110 in 375 and Mossberg makes a 375 R, Tikka makes 9.3x62's, Zastava makes 9.3's and I think 375's, Blaser makes all kinds, there's Mauser and Sako, and some others in Europe. Weatherby is still around, and I expect we will see some Remingtons...

I would suggest you talk with him about this before you sign up and hand over money. Explain your concern and I'm sure he will explain what drives things. Conversations like that can make a great trip, or cause you to reconsider. You will be spending a lot of your money and living g your...

I really love the 9.3's and 35's. I've had quite a few of each. I've driven down magnum lane for a lot of miles, but after more than 60 years hunting, I've eased off the throttle. If we are talking the over 30 and under 375 crowd, in my world where I don't shoot at big game beyond 250 yards,the...

I use 8x57 dies without an expander ball using a shell holder for 303 or 30/40 to reload the 8x57JR. To decap I use a 30 caliber decapping pin from another die. Bfly

I found that if I kept at least one big bore in my house it kept my garden free of Rhinos. The peace of mind was well worth the investment! Bfly

CRIES of the Savanna Thanks for the opportunity, looks like a good read. Bfly

I've owned ten drillings, about the same number of BBF's and a few cape guns and one fully rifled 20 guage double as well as a bunch of double shotguns. My experience is that not all of any of these guns can be lumped together. Maybe ones made this century, but the rest were pretty much...

Thanks, they were there all the time, hiding behind 'show all.' I used to write code, but I fell off the turnip truck when we moved to GUI. Now I'm a luddite. Bfly

I'm having a current conversation and it contains a shipping number for some ammo and there was another with the same about our firearm trade that is almost finished and they have disappeared, along with other recent conversations. Why is this happening. Thanks Dan

Puuting a scope on a double can sometimes change point of impact for one, or both barrels. One of my previous doubles did not regulate with a scope attached. I never could work up a load that shot close to regulation when the scope was on. Shot fine without it. I had three other other doubles...

I prefer iron ights on rifles I hunt with. I have twice in my 62 years hunting had scopes broken in the field. Both times I slipped andsomehow broke the glass on a rainy day. The one rifle had no backup sights. I had a buck walk by at about 30 yards, scope was completely fogged, I aimed along...

I have a Sauer Lux drilling, 16,16,7x57,that has a properly installed full length 5.6x50R adapter in the right 16 guagebarrel. I have only shot to 100 yards at the range. It shoots a bit over 1 inch groups at that range. The group is approximately 1/2 inch to the right of the 7x57 point of...

Not my penultimate, my ultimate, an older 4x Leupold 33, with the fine taper crosshairs. I went through a lot of different scopes before settling on this. With my 77/22, I can do head shots to 75 yards. Bright, light, clear, can sit low on the rifle, and keeps zero. Taken a lot of squirrels...

Here are some requested photos of the receiver. I will post the requested photos of the sights and scope rings either later today or tomorrow. I think I have responded to everyone's requests to far, but I may have missed someone. If you have not heard back from me. please let me know. Thanks, Bfly

WAB, the barrels are 23 and 3/4 inches. I should have included that in the descriptions. Thanks to all for the comments. Over the years, I have owned a number of double rifles. I found that I needed to be able to have both open sights and a scope to allow for different conditions and to...

Sorry but I'm from south of that border. I spent most of my life working with black flies. But, I've fed (invountarily) quite a few in the bush in Quebec and Ontario! Bfly

For Sale, Chapuis RGEX 9.3 x74R S/S with two sets of rings (1” and 30 mm) for the factory swing mounts. This RGEX gun has an upgraded walnut stock with right hand palm swell, single trigger. This rifle has an extended trigger guard for strength through the wrist, ejectors, and color case...

I had a request about trades on another forum. A few things that currently interest me are a BLR in 257 Roberts, a BLR in 223, a Single Six Hunter, maybe a slug gun, Ruger 77 RSH in 22 Hornet, or a Ruger 77 in 250 Savage. Thanks Bfly

Some better photos of the stock and action. The scope mounts are EAW.

As others have said, it is a Robber fly of the family Asilidae. Predatory and generally don't bother people. But if you handle them, do it carefully, they will bite if they think you are trying to hurt them. It's a bite that hurts, not a sting. A good insect to have around. Bfly

Kevin, where did you get that shirt? That looks handy. I always seem to have my shirt tail come out and get in my way with cartridges on my belt. I also have a bit of dublap that make a belt less than perfect. With my double, reaching up would be more ergonomic with lesser waving. I also wear...

I'll take the 165 grain accubons, the 150 grain hornadies, and the hornady length. case Bfly

This is the target. 100 yards, three shots Bfly

I have an earlier Ruger African. It has a Circassian walnut stock, pretty shiny bluing and the 375 contour barrel. It is not marked Gunblast. I had one when they first came out, but needed cash and had to part with it. I had a Zastava M70, too. I sighted this one in the other day. Because of...
