While at the Krieghoff site I had a really good look round.

Check out some of these pics

I like the idea of a .500/.416 doubling as a plains game rifle as well as a dangerous game rifle.

The Kreighoff comes setup to allow European style QD mount and scope, so perhaps a scope could be setup for say a 325 gr Barnes X and the express sights setup for 410 gr Woodleighs.

It appears the Krieghoff can also be ordered with several sets of barrels and a standard option seems to be a double rifle with a 20 gauge shotgun set of barrels as well.

Or a "Big Five" set of barrels such as a .500 NE, .500/.416 or 375 Flanged, with a set of smaller calibres such as 8x57 mm or .30-06, 7x57mm.

I also like the "Cape Gun" setup where you can choose say a 20 gauge and a 9.3x74mmR rifle barrel.

In a fantasy world I would go for a .500/.416 double, a set of barrels for 20 g SxS, and a Cape Gun set of barrels in 20g / 9.3 mm.

If anyone has used one of these, or knows someone who has I would appreciate knowing what they thought and experiences etc. Any negatives/pluses? Thanks.
