Double rifle trainer complete

[Backyardsniper]

I had an idea for this project, both as a trainer for my double, and also as a working turkey/rabbit gun. I have really enjoyed hunting with my 470 so I figured I would set up a trainer rig as close to it as I could. I purchased a CZ Bobwhite all terrain model from a fellow member here. That is the green cerakoted model that comes with sling swivels and also has magnets in the extractors to aid in loading in a duck blind or other awkward situations. I sent the barrels to Sumtoy Customs and he machined one of his red dot mounts to fit onto the rib so I could mount my RMR. I also had him make me a set of turkey chokes what he turned down the outside diameter so they would both fit in the gun. I hope to pattern it in the next few days. Our turkey season starts next weekend. There is also a new 5 stand complex just a few miles from the house. I hope to get it broken in good before swamp rabbit season this year, I think it should be an excellent rabbit gun

That’s a neat concept! Hopefully you whack a Tom with it.

How does it regulate?

Yeah, nice. I had a similar thought of using a side by side shotgun as a trainer for a big game double rifle, but havent done anything about it as yet.

How does it regulate?

Haven't put it on paper yet. The heavy TSS loads usually shoot to a different POI than filed loads and I will be that this gun was regulated for 7/8oz filed loads. I plan to shoot it tomorrow hopefully. I am also going to acquire or make some slugs for it just for the sake of experimenting.

Hiya
You could use .410 side by side. See the phots from Left Army and Navy started life as .360 BPE than converted to .410. good for solid slugs! Middle Alex henry .450 BPE and right 12 bore Manton

The turkeys are winning this year. We've got the rest of today and tomorrow to get it done. Going to get a gas station pizza and some refreshments and camp out with them for the next couple days.
