I'm sure there are are many more Doubles in 9.3x74R and smaller than there are larger. I used to see them all of the time and now, except for new rifles, they are rare. Maybe everyone that has one is hanging on to them because they are so nice and elegant.

When I was in the Czech Republic most of the hunters on the drive hunts had Doubles, either sxs or o/u. A very good rifle for most hunting in thick cover. I used one in Wisconsin and a friend used an 8 bore there. Range was always under 200 yards and usually under 100 yards.
