Today I collected my new double rifle at the airport as it arrived, and a good thing that I did because the personel at the local SAS Cargo-representative did not event bothered to check my ID when I took the package...wonder what would have happened if someone else decided to collect it before I got there
But back to the rifle, it feels really good to finally have it in my hands, I went to my little shooting range today and fired about 20 shots and it seems to shoot as good as it looks. It is regulated with scope on 100 meters but my own little shooting range is only 50 meters and mainly for sighting in scopes but it shot really well even on this short distance, with the shots from both barrels printing in basically the same hole in the target (printed like an compressed number 8) so I hope it will work as good on 100 meters aswell.
Since we have such strict gun laws here in Sweden this double rifle will have to serve both for domestic moose-, bear- and wild boar hunting aswell as future hunting in Africa. Thats why I choose the caliber .375 Holland & Holland Flanged Magnum. Hoping that it will be able to handle both the hunting needs for big game in Scandinavia aswell as is in Africa.
The gun is from a small Italian manufactor which as I understand it only makes about 15-20 guns each year so it is basically unknown here in Sweden. But It seems really well done with lots of nice details like extended trigger guard and extended top strap/tang or whatever it is called in english. A foldable nightsight and a little trapdoor on the pistol grip, right now I keep some spare ear protection plugs in that compartment. It has quite nice wood and nice engraving even thought it is not fully engraved as some of the more expensive guns I have seen and drooled over on this forum and others similar forums.
I really like that it does have a slim splinter foreend and of course also that It fits me like a glove and that the MAK Makquick mount can be used both for scopes and red dot sights and also that it are no protruding traces of the quick detatch mount when it is removed from the gun, no bases or anything like that I mean. My previous double rifles either had german claw mount bases or swing mount bases visible when the scope was removed so this is a welcome change.
Here are some pictures of my new favorite gun
