Re: Heinrich Scherping combination gun

Dangerous game? No worries!
Just ask H.R.Caldwell what he thought of the .22 High Power cartridge!



Well you can't ask him 'cause he's dead now of course, but he wasn't killed by a tiger!

This picture of a man-eater he bagged in Indo-China was probably solely responsible for the cartridge's 'reputation' as a slayer of dangerous game. While I dearly love this chambering, I'd recommend something with a little more authority for the nasties these days!

Nice looking gun BTW WebleyBloke, and welcome to NE.com. In Australia we use the RWS 5.6 x 52 R cases, or necked-down Winchester .25-35 cases from that limited run they did a few years ago.
