Re: Eduard Kettner 9x58R Double Rifle - New Addition - Questions

Buckstix:
I'm still chuckling re the double-discharge, but am reminded of a story told by Finn Aagard IIRC.
His friend was using a Mannlicher-Schoenauer with removable scope, complete with pop-up cheek-piece for when the scope was fitted.
The pair were stalking close in on a lion, and were spotted by the quarry so the friend set the trigger and raised his rifle to fire. At that point, he realized that the cheek-piece was still down so he pressed the button to "pop" it up.
Luckily, the accidental discharge went harmlessly into the dirt! ...and even more luckily, the lion decided to scoot rather than charge!

Any UD lessons learned that you can walk away from unharmed are cheap at twice the price!

Very nice double BTW, interesting chambering, and a good shooter to boot. I'm very jealous...
