My present 375H&H is an excellent rifle for shots out to 300m and it handles well for fast shots up close and can handle any conditions that Mother Nature can dish out.

If I can get a drilling for a decent price I might just snatch it up but as I can get a new shotgun like I was originally looking for and pay for a couple of Buffalo hunts up north with the extra cash.

I had a look at switch barrel SXS rifle-shotgun combos but the all the ones that I could find only come with 20ga barrels, still I am “very” tempted by the Heym 450Nitro and 20ga combo, I like the clean lines and no fuss look of them.

But I have wanted a traditional boar-hunting shotgun for years and I think that I will get it 1st, but I will get a Heym 450Nitro & 20ga or a Merkel 12ga SXS over 9.3X74R with maybe a spare set of 9.3X74R SXS over 20ga or similar down the track.
