Re: Are multi barrel sets worth the bother?

I can give you a little more info on my multibarreled gun now. I bought it used. After having it restocked left handed and having a Breako recoil reducer installed, I just got it back. I still haven't fired it, but I will by next week.

The gun was built on the "Classic Big Five" for the 470 N.E.
It also came with a 9.3x74R and a 7x65R set of barrels. The three barrels all have Ziess Diavari 1 1/2 - 6 removeable scopes.

The 470 now seems well balanced.It comes up perfectly and sights perfectly without the scope. I'm scared to think about shooting that one with a scope on it, but with the scope on it you have to kind of creep you head up to see it.

The 9.3x74R seems to be a perfect fit. It balances well, maybe a little heavy though. It sights perfectly with open sights or the scope.

The 7x65R starts to become a little different. It's heavy in the butt. The gun has an extra heavy weighted stock bolt to balance the 470 and I added the Breako. It swings light in the tip, but still heavy. The iron sights are almost unuseable. The stock with it's monte carlo cheek piece was designed for the 470. It makes the sight plane to high to see the open sights. It's fine for the scope though.

I purchased this gun with hunting in Africa on my mind. I could take out the Breako when using the 7x65R and I'll never shoot that set of barrels without the scope.

I think all in all it was a great find and a great buy. I like it and any short comings are small and should be overcome with little effort.

When I've fired all three barrels I'll report back again.
