My first post here (but some like Mickey and Duggaboy might remember me from Huntchat way back),

I second the recomendation on Chapuis or Merkel. I've got a Chapuis 9.3x74r. Great guns shoots very well, and manages to regulate well with a fair ammount of bullets weights and with a scope and without which surprised me.

Word of warning: I had a problem with the top lever, apparantly on many of these "factory" doubles sometimes the work inside the boxlock is not finished and apparantly some parts were left sharp and did some internal damage. All fixed now, but I've heard similar things about Merkels and Uggie shotguns, so you might want to have a good double gun smith to take apart the lock and give it a good inspection before using it a lot (might check firing pins for hardness too). I don't know about Sweden or the US, but Chapuis does make them in France with single triggers (non selective) and combination sets (one rifle and one shotgun barrels on a SxS or O/U), so if you want those options.

Heard great things about Heym's doubles, would go that route for the money rather than Krieghoff.

Just my 2c
