I have seen a lot of double rifles in SxS versions both in stores & on television but I don't know that I have ever seen a double in an Over & Under version. Do they make such an animal and if not why? Thanks

Merkel and Krieghoff are the first two that come to mind, I believe even Winchester put out some 101's in an over/under rifle. But several others have manufactured a double rifle in an over/under throughout the years.

I used to see some Finnish made Valmet's years ago. These were switch barrel capable and several different combo's could be had in OU's.

Chapuis. I hunted brown bear in Alaska with a guy who used one in .375 to take a 10'+ brownie.

Must be contageous. Me too.

I watched a YouTube vid someone posted on here for a SXS shotgun and ended up watching 5 other recommended videos on double rifles.

Looking? If you go to Dallas Safari Club in 3 weeks, you'll be able to affectionately fondle their graceful curves as well.

Baikal makes them. IDK who's the importer (EAA?)or if any are currently imported, but CDNN had for the longest time some .30/06 O/Us, and possibly some other calibers.

I believe that Remington imports a over under double rifle

Cabelas lists them as well as guns international


Winchester 101 Grand European XTR

http://www.gunsinternational.com/Winches...un_id=100340873

The question is, what caliber, and how much are you willing to pay
up

They are very popular in Europe, but are not very common in the US or Africa.
