I've owned three DR drillings in my lifetime. Two were Stoeger 1950's era, one in 8X57JR and the other 9,4X74R...both over 16ga. The 9,3 was very heavy, and the 8X57 was heavier than I like in a light caliber.

The third was an early 8X57JR Kersten action, but I couldn't identify the maker. It, also, had a 16ga barrel.

For all practical purposes, I prefer the conventional double shotgun, single rifle variety. They weigh much less, and I carry mine to still hunt or jump shoot. The DR drillings are too clumsy for this type of hunting, IMO.

The Geyger 16-16-9,3X74R I just came by is just about perfect.
