my 1957 made Gebr. Adamy 16 ga is a good example for the east german hunting gun

typical post war suhl made double with a post war zeiss zielsechs on claw mount.this kind of shotgun reach its style before the great war and beside of the many different actions develope by local gunmaker it became more and more a standard. what happen after the war in suhl with this type of shotgun was something, imho , that would have come anyway sooner or later.

the shotgun barrels of this guns crossing at +/- 25 meter so at 50 meter you find the left slug right of the middle and the rigth slug on the left side. the scope was for shooting slugs with only one barrel where it was sighted for, most times the rigth so it was more a "combination gun" than a double barrel slug gun.
its true the suhl made double gun is different from a typical british made gun, maybe like a landrower against a racecar. the suhl double gun had to be usable from partridges up to brown bear, something that was never expectetd from a british shotgun.
it was allways possible to make combination or double rifle barrels for such shotguns so the stock is just from the start a stock for rifles.

Fantastic Gun! Rates a TWO COOL.

My grandson takes great pride in a well used and a bit beat up field grade Buhag/Gbr Adamy 16ga SXS that also has claw mount bases. I don't have detailed photos, but here he is with his Adamy.

and often with a lot of drop?
...

As hares rarely fly, shooting at them running is most often downhill. So the guns were stocked accordingly.

Not to mention, a vast majority of German hunting is done from raised high seats/hochsitz.

Interesting thread. Ive sometimes wondered about mostly fictional or semi-non-fictional movies and shows displaying Eastern European hunters, Communist Generals or Politicians hunting in drives with side by side shotguns. Shooting boar or deer.

I've wondered whether they used slugs or buckshot or both?

Any of our esteemed German colleagues or others, know if buckshot is commonly used in many Eastern European countries? Poland, Romania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia now Czech and Slovakia, the Yugoslavia modern or old countries etc? The Soviet countries, old and new?

no problem,W.Brennecke design his slug from the start to deal with all kind of chokes.
and this what Brennecke allways told until this day - you can use them in any barrel for the caliber.

Facebook users told me the Brennecke slugs were hard and could damage tight chokes.

I think I'll reply on our NE members and Lars and Axel instead. And Daryl.

Note, the discussion was also about paradox style guns, chokes, slugs as well.
