Congratulation on your new double rifle. From the sounds of it you will love owning and using it.

I have always wondered where all these belted magnum doubles are going to as there are a significant number being sold every year yet no one owns one!

It always has also been a wonder if they are so bad why virtually all double rifle makers make them as well and have done so for years.

Have a look at some of the doubles for sale on the net. Lots of .318 Rimless doubles from the vintage era. Given they are not big bores but they certainly were used years ago.

Having said that I do think a rimmed cartridge is a better choice all other things being equal. But it is a matter of relativeness. It is NOT necessary to have everything perfect to take a rifle hunting. I would guess les than 20% of bolt actions used on DG are "perfect" if such a thing exists. Also I have always wondered how all the 'old-timers' survived often using far less than perfect rifles, calibres, ammunition. Old BP 'bore' single shots, crappy ex-military rifles and ammo, push-feed bolt actions (

), old Kynoch ammo .... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe they were just less stressed about the whole deal and just got on with it.

And these guys often did not have a PH holding their hand.

Of course playing the percentage game could get one squashed. But there are worse ways to go.

..................

Have fun with your new double gun!
