I agree with tarawa - but for the trigger - i like my 30-06 Baikel sxs more and more. I tried to have the trigger done to lower the pull weight a bit but the smith couldn't get to them as the main action screw is either really tight or a reverse thread. we stopped trying for now.

I load 52.5 gr Win 760 with mag primer and 180 gr round nose Hornady to get close to 2600 ft/s and about 3/4 inch groups from a rest at 50 yds. it is light and fun to shoot. I tried it with a Dr. Optic speed dot and it was good for snap shots but I think i prefer a low power scope until i get used to it. I may just have to find a 45-70 up here - if they do come here.

I think the more doubles sold to anyone, the more of a market will be developed and maybe "mainline" companies will start to consider the whole double rifle market as being worthwhile to pursue.

My friends laugh until they pick up and use a double - any double. Then they see how compact and useable they can be. Then I have a hard time getting them back. When Im in the thick bush with the snow falling hard or it raining and trying to find that sneaky moose, elk, deer..... -- a double is just perfect and when it can be one that im not worried aboutscratching or getting wet, well i feel better about the whole thing. In Africa, my rifles can be controled a lot better I find that they dont take near the beating that my rifles in Canada do while hunting.. hmmm never thought of that before, I guess the rifles in Africa are in hot, dry climates, in a Landcruiser or walking in generally bushy but dry (so far) country.

If I could only have six long guns -- well it might happen up here you never know - I think I would go nuts.
