I posted a similar question on another forum, in case this looks familiar--- Yes boss, Im answer shopping!

Im in the very begining stages of purchaseing a drilling. I just discovered Merkel and Blaser, (perhaps others), have a version with two rifle barrels an a single shotgun tube. I have the Merkel catalog in front of me and I see they offer a version in 9.3x74 + 9.3x74 over 12ga. That seems like it would make it truely a world wide gun. If Im not mistaken the Blaser is avaiable in a double rifle configuation with a 20 ga barrel on top.

My hunting (limited as it is), is mostly confined to white tail deer and small game in woods on the east coast of America. I have hunted black bear and wild boar; but I still have dreams of bigger and dangerous game. I know that someting like 30-06 would be more useful here at home; but theres that dream again about the nasty stuff......

What is the general thought of double rifle drillings?

Has anyone out there actually used either? I cant find a dealer that stocks either, so I'll be ordering blind and forced to keep what I get.

Any other suggetions, calibers etc???
