ONE ACTION-3 CALIBERS, GOOD OR BAD IDEA???
05/08/06 11:17 AM

I have been entertaining(daydreaming) about the idea of having one Double action but 3 sets of barrels, a heavy(500 NE class), a medium heavy(450/400 class) and maybe a shotgun barrel. Some forum members have discussed such combination Double rifles.

What would be the best action size similar ala Heym's different sized actions to fit all three sets of barrels? Would their largest also fit a set of 450/400 barrels and shotgun barrels as well.? Could you get the right fit?Any ideas what gauge shotgun barrels would be possible? 12 vs 20?

Is this idea too much of a compromise? Is there to much difference in the optimal action size for a 500 class vs a 450/400 class to make it balance and feel as it should?

Obviously there are vastly experienced members here who can suggest the pros and cons of such combo Double rifles.

Is this a dud idea? Thanks to all for any opinions given.
