Re: Question re a .450/400 3" NE set of barrels on a Valmet DR

Found the advert:

Quote:

The rifle barrels are 26” long and the gun is well balanced with a little muzzle heaviness. This is a two-barrel set with a set of 26” long 12 GA ejector barrels with screw chokes.
.
The double rifle barrel set was built by expert gunsmith John Taylor.
.
It was made by taking a set of ejector shotgun barrels and removing the shotgun tubes from the monoblock. Then a set of Douglas blanks were turned to fit and the barrels soldered to the monoblock.
.
An adjustable muzzle piece For windage adjustment and a Barrel wedge for elevation adjustment were machined and mounted.
.
There is a set of excellent Recknagel iron sights with a red bead and yellow rear notch. The sights are zeroed for 50 yards. The barrel also accepts Valmet scope mounts.
.
The rifle is very accurate and both barrels shoot to the same point at 50 yards.
.
The stock is a factory Valmet left hand stock with three interchangeable butt pads for various lengths of pull. I do have a factory right hand stock that I can substitute for the left hand stock.
.
With the double rifle barrels the gun weight 9 lb, 4 oz, perfect for this caliber.
.
This cartridge is the 450/400 3” Nitro Express cartridge. The rifle is pleasant to shoot with recoil being a heavy shove instead of a sharp jab as in high velocity magnums.
.
Included are 7 boxes of Hornady factory Ammo, (3 solids, 4 soft points). Also there are 75 once fired empties, 41 handloads with 400 grain soft points, a die set and some bullets
