Well, I picked two:
Because I like my Winchester 1895 .405, I found and bought a Simson - Suhl .405 WCF SxS with express sights and the rear rib machined to take Talley scope rings or Talley peep sight. It is regulated for 300 grain bullets at 2250 fps and shoots these into less than one inch at 50 yards. Nice wood too.


I always wanted a double in .45-90 (.458 2.4) to go with my 1886 .45-90, but they are rare, so when the opportunity came to buy a nice used Beretta .45-70 double with 26 barrels, I jumped on it, thinking it would be easy to extend the chambers. Had I never shot it, I would have extended the chambers, but I did and it was sweet! Both barrels are sub minute of angle with 300 grain bullets and it groups even better with 400 grain bullets. So, it is a work-in-progress now. Did kill a boar with it and the caliber makes short work of such beasties.





With the ability to shoot 210 grain to 400 grain bullets in the .405 and 300-450 grain bullets in the .45-70, I may never need another double rifle.
