HonkeyWhat combo gun options???
Hello all,
I have become interested in combo guns. I come to you gentlemen for advice.
I hunt up in northern Maine and I have deer and Partridge in the same woods. I would love a combo gun that was light, (about 7lbs or less) that had either 12 gauge or 20 over anything from 7mm-08 to 300 win. I want double triggers so I have an instant choice between shot or bullet. I am not interested in some hokey trigger switch that will select what barrel fires.
I saw the picture of that Blaser 97 and it got me thinking. I know Kreighoff also makes combo guns. WHAT OTHER OPTIONS DO I HAVE.
THANKS

Jeff SullivanI bought my Blaser BBF 97 "Tracker" 12 ga over 308 from Alex Roy at Euro Optics and couldn't be happier. Mine is a "plain jane" standard grade, but I bought mine to hunt with. The rifle barrel is super accurate, and it shoots slugs, buckshot, or skeet loads equally well.

HonkeyIf I may be so forward...

Sambar 9.3My Blaser 95 seems to work OK.
Standard grade, 7x57R/12g, now wearing a Swarovski 1.5-4.5 in the saddle mounts.
Works so well that I have ordered another 95 BBF in 22 Hornet/12g with a spare barrel set in 6.5x55/12g for my daughter to use when it's time for her first deer.
For your needs I would suggest 12g/308 or similar.
Best of luck.

pulkiI bought a BBF 95 in cal 30R Blaser and 12 gauge
more than ten years ago. It is very accurate . Many red stags ,fallow deer, wild boar , quail , doves and other species has fallen to its impeccable performance.
