I was thinking that a medium bore Double with a scope and shortened stock would be fun for the wife and young adolescents.They wouldn't have to work a bolt or deal with a single shot. I could consider lengthening the stock later if need be.

Anyone make such a rifle?

What caliber would be good for medium sized game up to 500 pound class? 6.5, 7 x 57R, ???

What gun makers would carry such a rifle?

What weight should the rifle weigh?

Any suggestions?
