the gun cost 350 + a little bit for a new rust bluewing of the barrels. it was more worn than fired before so a little refresh was necessary. there are some of this guns around here most in the hands of older hunter's. 10-20 years from now we will see more of them come back to the gun market but the new generation dont value them. you know it: not a 12 ga magnum, wan't kill anything.
such 16 ga double guns seeing a lot of use on wild boar here. much more than in other area's I believe but the 16 ga is official seeing as obsolete. this hunters know them from the past and trust.
I have seen 16 ga double guns used in thick woods were you can only see up to 10-20 meter on wounded boars.

I was on a driven hunt in very thick cover when a wild boar would say in the 35-40 kg class run between my feets. my feets were standing maybe 10 cm from each other and the boar had have a velocity of maybe 100 km/h, ok maybe 50 km/h. the cover was to thick to fall over but it hurts for days.
the boar itself trying to rescue his little life was runing directly to such an older guy with 16 ga double gun and brennecke slugs.
I did it like hannibal lecter, eat his liver and drink chianti wine.
