I think the guns are great even if they are different. The workman ship is nice, and those 2 engraved animals are phenomenal. I would be proud to have them in my safe. My other doubles will just have to move over and get along with them!

Because they are a bolt action they don't use rimmed cases. .375 H&H mag, .416 Rigby or Remington (?), .500 Jeffrey etc.
Well, not to be pedantic, but you CAN use a rimmed case in a bolt action (ie Lee Enfield, US Krags, etc) but it does make for rather fussy feeding and doen't make a whole lot of sense as rimless cases were developed for use in magazine rifles. Dave

This topic is about the Fuchs double rifle. Are any rimmed cases chambered in the Fuchs double rifle?

Dunno, would have to ask. I don't see why it could not be done, although I don't see why one would bother. Dave

From memory I was surprised to see all magnum or rimless cartridges only chambered. But the reason is quite obvious. Just felt strange, looking for a nice .400 3" and seeing either .416 Rem Mag (or .416 Ribgy) instead.
I think if it was balanced well enough, not too heavy for calibre a .416 in one of these would be a great deal.
