I've have shot on O/U Browning in 30-06 that a friend in Aus owns a bit. Some 'Roos, some pigs, a few foxes. It is accurate enough, without scope, light and handy. The issue of loading the bottom barrel did not arise because of the relaxed nature of our shooting and the short size of the '06 cartridge.

I do think that the longer NE cartridges would be a problem if one were in a hurry as the rifle has to be broke open quite abit farther than a sxs.

I would like to have one of the combo sets with the 20 gauge barrels. A set in '06 or 270 with a QD scope would be pretty nice. I have looked around for a long time to find one that is used a bit and not in new condition but people around here don't seem interested in shooting them.
