9ThreeXFifty7,

This was my most recent acquisition:
Griefelt & Co., Suhl Drilling Serial number 38525 16ga/16ga/7x57R
24 1/2"barrels of Bohler steel with automatic rifle sight, flat matted rib and claw mount bases choked full & full. 14"pull from front single-set trigger to horn buttplate, 2 7/8"drop. Lightly figured walnut stock with Deeley pull-down latch splinter forend, classic point-pattern checkering, beaded pancake cheekpiece, swivels, horn pistol grip cap and vacant silver oval. Scroll and game-scene engraved, grey-etched, scalloped, reinforced steel receiver with rifle cocking lever, Greener crossbolt, double underbites, sideclips, bushed firing pins, cocking indicators and Greener safety. Weight: 7lbs, 7oz. Built 1939. 90%blue.

It cost $3250 and now all I need is rings to fit the claw mount bases. I'm hoping NECG will be able to help me out. This is incidentally the most I have paid for a drilling, and I own four: a 1929 Krieghoff Neptun (sidelock) 16/16/9.3X72R, a 1941 J.P.Sauer sidelock 16/16/8X57IR, and the 1942 Greifelt 12/12/8X60R you mentioned. All but the 12 gauge Greifelt have separate rifle barrel cocking, which means the rifle barrel can be carried uncocked until you are ready to use it, so there's no danger of accidentally letting fly with the rifle barrel at a quail or pheasant.

If you scan the auction sites as I did, you probably will be able to come up with what you want for a reasonable price, but it may take time. A lot of drillings are priced much too high, simply because the sellers don't know what they are worth and don't want to be taken advantage of. I have been lucky enough to find sellers who were in the know and were able to make me a reasonable price.

My one indulgence, which I don't yet have in my possession, is a post war Krieghoff Neptun 16/16/8X65S. The rifle caliber is a real stopper, and will be my wild boar weapon of choice, with both shot barrels loaded with Brennekes. Should do well on bear, as well.
