Thanks Daryl and Rell.

Thinking about it a little more, I think it would make the most practical sense to just get a 3rd rifle.

I was thinking about past experiences hunting in the north country for moose and deer and often times game is spotted in cutlines or in man made clearings. Rarely are shots over 125 yards taken with most being around 25-50 yards in my experience. However, there have been those occasions where a medium range 100-150 yard shot needs to be taken off hand before the animal disappears in the wood patch.

So i'm thinking a 3rd rifle really is the better option due to its versatility. I'm sure Brenneke slugs would be fine under 75 yards, but that won't cover all my situations. Furthermore, the cost/hassle of having the barrels regulated might be too much.

The options on the table, then, are either a 45-70 lever gun or a 9.3x74R double rifle--obviously in two different price classes.

I've never owned a double rifle before, nor have I shot one in 9.3x74R caliber. I'm very curious though.
