KebcoRifle Drilling
I thought this was unusual enough to post a few pics.
Maker is Mathelon, all 3 barrels are 9.3X74R, barrels are 21.5", LOP 14 3/4", and weight is 122oz or only 7.63lb. The front trigger is mechanical, and fires the right barrel and then the left, the second trigger fires the bottom barrel.

IanFWow - what a beautiful piece of work. Thanks for sharing.
Any more detail? Have you shot it & if so, how is the regulation?
The foresight leads me to think this is modern - not a manufacturer I was previously aware of.

KebcoThe gun is new. Mathelon is a small French maker of high quality drillings and double rifles. Only the French side of his web site works.
http://www.mathelon-armes.com/I bought 4 of these, one for myself and 3 for resale. If you wish to see more detailed pics go to
www.kebcollc.com the click on firearms and then on rifles. I plan to shoot mine latter today and will report back.

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

KebcoThe gun is regulated for 286 Norma Oryx. I did not have any of the Norma the gun was regulated with but did shoot some 286 Norma Alaska, 285 RWS, and 291 RWS. At 50 yards, firing 6 round groups (all 3 barrels 2x), I was getting groups of 2.25" (5.5 cm) to just under 3"(7cm). I shot 40 rounds and was getting tired but as I get more practice with the gun I do not think it will difficult to regularly keep groups in the low 2" or better.

Now that would make for an excellent combination. Just remember to remove the scope when using the 450 barrels!

packrattusnongratusWonderful. And in my favorite caliber. 9.3. Kebco my 9.3 Swede is languishing in the safe. My 412 is getting too much attention! Take care. Packy
