Re: The Purdey "200 Year Battery of Nine" - Ahmed577

The first double rifle I shot was a 5.6x50 mm Rimmed in Under and Over. The other barrel was actually a .22 Magnum.

The 5.6x50R barrel was capable on three shot/one hole accuracy. The .22 Magnum about 30 mm at 100 metres.

The rifle was brought to Australia by a German guy living near the East German border at the time, and worried about a war. Brought stuff over to Australia for a second home, just in case.

This rifle brand was "Frankonia" so obviously the retail chain had some rifles made up for their own branding.

Wore a very inappropriate 4-10x50mm scope in see through mounts. Very hard to shoot accurately as the scope was way to high to use the cheek pad.

I think this 5.6x50 mm R under and over Boss will be an extraordinary rifle and well worth it, and useful on all sorts of smaller game species.
