Remember reading a story a few years back of a guide/hunter in Alaska for brown bear..don't remember the details other than it was a similar debate on double vs bolt..in that case the guide had been charged by a wounded bear.. he stated that had he not had a bolt and that 3rd shot, he would have been dead... will do some digging to see if I can find that story..

For me, I have both, double and blaser..personally I prefer a bolt when stalking..but again, that is what I have used the most by far...do think it would be fun to take the double however for a tuskless hunt or buff hunt..OR, my bucket list item, hunt/shoot a hippo on land with one..to me, that would be fun...
