I grew up in Northern Alberta and I can understand your desires. I did the same myself a few years after college, sold off everything and bought a Ruger #1 custom in 35 Whelen, a SxS 12g Winchester Model 21 and kept a custom 356 Winchester model 94.

Since then I've allowed a fair a fair few arms into my gun safes, but the idea,appealed to me at the time.

What about a working 9.3x74r SxS double with a set of 20g barrels? For bear, boar or moose in heavy cover I can't think of a better tool.

On order is a Chapuis SxS three barrel set, 9.3x74r + 7.65r + 20g = one rifle for everything but elephant?

Chapuis, Sabatti, or the VC (over and under) are all reasonably priced. There is a guy in Ontario that stocks quite a few doubles. The shop is called TradeX I think.

Good luck.
