Re: Why aren't light caliber doubles more popular?

Foxfire--
Betcha most american hunters erronously consider all cailber Doubles only fit for short range game and feel that their bolt rifle is much superior to any small cailber Double!!!
I can't speak for most Americans but for myself,
I shot a Fallow @ just under 150 yards and a Whitetail at just over 150 yards with my double 7x65R.
I took an Aoudad at almost 200 yards with my 9.3x74R double.
I know mine will do what I ask if I do my part. I rather leave the bolts actions home myself.
I was still trying to answer your question.
