I am a huge fan of small to medium caliber double rifles. Among those I have three chambered in .303 Brit., one in .300 Win. Mag., one in .360 2-1/4" BPE, one in .400/.360 2-3/4" NE, and one in 9.3x74R.

In the past I have owned a Valmet o/u .30-06 (many deer killed), a .280 Flanged NE, a 7x57R, an 8x57JR, and a different 9.3x74R.

Don't know if I have remembered them all just sitting here at my computer. The small calibers are simply marvelous. There is nothing bad and very much good about them.

By the way, most people think the big shoulder stomping dinosaur busting doubles are the only ones worth having. Please don't tell them how wrong they are.
