I have a line on two valmet double rifles that will be sold as part of an estate. One is a 30-06 and the other is 9.3x74. I know zip about the valmets, except they are 99%, and have scope mounts. I don't buy rifles to collect, but rather to hunt with. If anyone here has any experience with the Valmet doubles and any data/experience with the 9.3x74, I would sure like to hear your input. Thanks

Stoneybroke,
A friend of mine has one in .30-06 and 9.3x74R.

It must weigh 12lbs. (at least), and accuracy is less than stellar with either set of barrels.

Shoot straight, shoot often, but by all means, use enough gun!

The only one I saw was so long ago I forget the caliber. One of our local gunshops got one in and if I remember correctly the barrels were separated and they had to regulate them at the shop with shims. A real PIA, nobody liked it.

Thanks for the info. I'll pass on the doubles. Stoney
