Gents!
I am still (!) looking for a good drilling but have not found any that meets my requirements.
I do not think that I am too picky, but time will tell if that is true. :-)

What I want:
12/70 (2-3/4") or 16/70 Ga, 7x57R for the rifle barrel.
Bullet barrel adapted to calibre, not the same outer diametre for a 7 mm and 9,3 mm for instance.

all barrels should shoot to approximately same place.
Brenneke or slugs shall hit centre of shotgun pattern.

All cocking /decocking, safeties etc. placed behind the top-lever and NOT on the sides.

Possibility to fire all 3 shots in succession without breaking the gun, irregardless of shot order.

Steel frame, no dural.

Is there any maker or model that meet these "demands"?

Sincerely

Daniel

The Blaser Bockdrilling, BD880, no longer in production, sounds like it meets your requirement.

There is no safety to hassle with, when it is not cocked (gespannt) it is safe. You can fire all three shots without breaking open, but you must recock for each shot, i.e., you can't just pull the different triggers.

But it sounds like you're looking for a standard drilling, 2 shotgun barrels over one rifle - I'm not up to speed on the latest of them, but most have the safety on the side. Good luck in finding what you want, as far as how they all shoot you'll have to work that out on the range, Waidmannsheil, Dom.

I think the Krieghoff Optima could be the right
drilling for you. Maybe Krieghoff can built one
for you in 16 gauge.

I do not think your exact "wish" drilling has been made.

So Some Compromise might be in order.

I will make two suggestions, and I have used both of them.

One, for the most accurate drilling, take a look at the Blaser D99.

If you want a more traditional Drilling, take a look at the Sauer 3000 [same gun as the Colt Sauer, and the Weatherby Drilling].

Both of these Drillings shoot and handle great.

W ith a little practice the operation of the Blaser D 99, or the side Grenner safety of the Sauer becomes second nature.

These "guns" are avialable and affordiable.

I have rimless versions of both of these, ie American calibres, and I have had NO extraction issues.

My wifes favorite hunting gun is her Sauer 3000 Drilling, in 12x12x30/06, with 2x Kahles scope in claw mounts.

As NE says, the thing that makes it tough is having everything on top. Are you looking for a new one?
I have a krieghoff in 7x57/16 that I might sell. It's a Waldschutz model that has the safety on the side, as most do.

That are you hunting? Grouse/capercalie and bear/moose? Do you need a decock action?

The current Krieghoff's have everything on the top... A slideing safety for the shot bbls, and the rifle decocker for the rifle bbl. It works out very good, and they are very accurate too...

Simson made a deluxe model that had the main safety on the wrist behind the cocking device for the rifle barrel. Because it takes a bit of force to slide the cocking device forward, it is very easy to distinguish the two in use. I'm not sure if the front trigger can be pulled twice.
What about the Mathelon guns. I know they have a trigger configuration where the front trigger fires the two shotgun barrels in succession and the rear trigger fires the rifle.

Gents!
I have now reserved and recieved the license on a Sauer & Sohn 12-12/6,5x57R drilling. I am fetching the gun next weekend.
It has some "personal" solutions on the wood and scope, but the price was right. :-)

I will use it for mixed hunting, from the late season moose to hazel hens.

This model, think it is a 32, has all things on top and can fire all barrels in sucession without breaking the gun. I might be looking for a light and handy pre-war drilling in a few years, but for the moment I think that I will be happy with this one.

Next question is which of the LEE case trimming gauges that fits it?

I use the Lee cutter & trim system for the other calibers and it would be convinient to use the same shellholder and gauge and not buy an entirely new set for this gun.

I could not see the 6,5x57R in the Lee catalogue and I suspect that a 7x57 gauge will be too big for the case mouth in the 6,5?

Would the 257 Roberts fit a 6,5x57R ?

Any suggestions on the case trimming are most welcome!

Sincerely

Daniel

i guess the capercaille's are very unsafe now.
can i ask how much you paid for it(sek)?
