The (Swedish?) gentleman who held the record for "oldest gold medalist in the Olympics" shot a Sauer double in 6.5 for the running boar competition. He said it made it MUCH easier to get on the second shot, as opposed to heavier calibers, because of decreased muzzle rise. That might be a great reason to make a smaller caliber double, no?

You're thinking about Oscar Swahn who won a silver medal in 1920s Olympics at age 72 right?

Looks like has a bolt - action on the pictures I find so far.
Do you have any links? Would be cool to see that sauer, and a well built double should fit the bill.
