DOUBLE GUN OWNERS (please respond as you would wish):

-- how many double rifles do you now own (please specify s-by-s, o-u or drilling), and in what calibres;

One, S/S .450 No2 NE WJ Jeffrey. Working on acquiring a couple more, one a (edited for a competition) 9.3mm if I can get it here. The other a larger S/S.

-- how many double rifles did you previosuly own (please specify barrel configuration and calibres);

None. I was a virgin until recently

-- do you hunt with your double rifles; if so, what type of game; if not, why not;

That is its purpose. Feral game, buffalo and similar. Only owned it a short time.

-- how long after you took up the sport of shooting/hunting did you catch the double gun 'bug/disease' (no known cure):

Wanted a double since I was 17 when I saw a chance to buy one. Bought a M98 bolt action instead because it was more practical. Bolt actions are a disease, doubles are the cure. Took me another 20 years to buy one.

I started hunting at about 9 so I guess 8 years.

-- do you also shoot smooth bore doubles; if so, in what configuration (s-by-s or o-u) and bores;

S/S 12g x 3 different guns + S/S .410

-- do you hunt with your smooth bore doubles; if so, what type of birds/game;

Mainly hunting, ducks, pigeons, quail, rabbits, hare, pest birds, pigs

Some clays with the S/S. Don't own a U/O.

-- do you also own other actions (turnbolt, single, lever, pump, etc.); if so, in what calibres;

Yes mostly M98 centrefires plus a lever .308. A couple of single shot Martinis which are still gathering dust.


-- would you say that you have followed the natural progression of 'less-but-better' over the years;

I've alway admired the ideal that a man with a single gun is deadly.



-- the three top double gun makers are;

Merkel, Krieghoff and Chapuis

-- the three top double gun hunters/ph's (any generation) are;

Mark Sullivan (for the reaction )


-- the three top double gun reference sources are;

the mebers of NitroExpress.com
Double Gun Journal (but not enough rifles)
Big Game Rife Club (I think)


-- my next double gun will be (please provide time frame for purchase);

In a day or two but it may start off as a shotgun and end up as a .577



-- my ideal double gun has the following features;

Two barrels, two triggers, two locks

...have fun...

Always do.
