Vol717In my experience I have seen 30/06, 243, 308 375 Winchester and 9.3x74R in double barrels in the 412. The latter two are ejector barrels. I had a 375 rechambered for 375 H&H flanged. Twist was too slow for bullets over 250 grains. I also had a shotgun barrel set sleeved with 450/400 barrels. You should be able to find a set of 9.3 barrels for about $1200. That's what I would recommend.

Vol717I bought two barrel blanks from douglas and had an ejector shotgun barrel set sleeved to for the barrels. The gunsmith copied the Valmet barrel adjusting system and it worked wonderfully. I loaded it with 400 grain bullets. It would shoot both barrels together into 1-/12” at 55 yds (50m). I wish I hadn’t sold it.
