This post is not aimed at anyone in particular, but everyone on this thread in general!

This is one of the most missinformed threads I have ever read. "the 45-70 out classes the 375 H&H!" "the 45-70 is a brush buster!" "the 45-70 is more deadly than a 30-06!" "The Biakal is regulated with (you name one) bullet!"

#1 The 45-70 couldn't hold a light for the 375 H&H to run by!with 180 gr bullets the 30-06 comes much closer to the 375 H&H than the 45-70!

#2 There is no such thing as a brush buster, even a 500NE with a 570 gr bullet will be deflected if it hits anything before it get to it's target.

#3 The 45-70 is not the killer a 30-06 is, and never will be. It is a fine cartridge for what it was designed for, shooting Indians from a trapdoor Springfield cavelry rifle, but sorely lacking on anything that might kill you back bigger than an Apache.

#4 The Biakal is not regulated with any bullet. It comes with an adjustable regulation, and is only proofed to under 20,ooo psi chambered for 45-70, but proofed to 48.000 psi chambered for 30-06.

The Biakal would be a nice little canoe rifle so that if you capsized the canoe and lost it $900 will get you another one. The best use of this plateform is to buy it chambered for 30-06 and yank the barrels out of it, and replace them with a pair of 1-10" twist .308 barrels turned to the same configuration as the ones coming out of the rifle, and chamber it to 30-30 win and regulate it with 150 gr Nosler spitzer Partitions, loaded up to around 2300 fps and hunt deer with it!

If you want a double rifle for anything that bites back buy a real double rifle, chambered for anything from 375 H&H flanged to 500NE and be done with it! The Biakal double rifle will not take Full loads made for the 1895 Marlin, or the Guide gun, and with the loads it is designed for it is weakling, Period!
