Who hunts with O/U double rifles, especially Bergstutzen?

My VC 375 Flanged tamed down to 2150fps for the 300grain heads regulates well and is now my PG O/U. It wears a Trijicon sight and is dead accurate. Note the low profile with the Henneberger mount.

I really like the Trijicon and the mount! It's low and unobtrusive.
 
That’s NICE!
Best!
 
M7y first double rifle, bought in 1970, was a Krieghoff "Teck" O/U three barrel set, in calibers .458WM, .375 H&H and 16 gauge shot. It was delivered in 1971, just in time for my first trip to Africa.
With it I accounted for four of the Big Five, omitting only rhino, which I took with my wildcat .505 SRE.

I just realized that I misrepresented the shot barrels: they are 20 gauge 3" Magnum caliber, Very handy for Guinea fowl and sand grouse. Ducks, too, as I once went duck hunting in a native canoe painted bright yellow, which the ducks didn't seem to mind.
 
I just picked up a Valmet 412s over/under with a set of .308/.308 barrels, and a 20ga/20ga barrel set as well. Not hunted it yet, but got the rifle barrels regulated quite nicely just last week.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
