I have both a 9.3x9.3x74x16 gauge and a 12x12x9.3x74. I believe the double shotgun is more versitile for lower 48 hunting. The shot tubes can be fitted with sub caliber insert barrels for small rimfire and centerfire calibers. With a 22 insert barrel and a 12 ga. shotshell in the other barrel, you have a great small game gun. With a 22 Hornet barrel, a good varmint getter. A couple of Brenneke slugs and the 9.3x74 rifle,there is not much you could not handle.

Just my .02
