Here�s something I�ve seen or heard of before, a bolt action double rifle!! A double rifle with a magazine (2-3 shots per barrel), and a bolt action � a double with 6 or 8 shots!!
And not in some �Mickey Mouse� calibre either - .458, .470 etc.
The bolt operated both barrels, regardless of whether both had been fired, so you could eject an un-fired case, but you�ve got lots more. They were also fitted with double triggers.
And they could be had in �side by side� or �over and under� configuration.

I don�t know if they are still being made � doubt it. A Hungarian who was living in Canada, by the name of Joseph Szecsei, was making them.
He apparently was only making them (8 off at the time of writing) for fun, and not commercially, seemingly though there were �other interested parties� who wanted to take them into production. I wonder what happened to them.

I read about it in the 1995 Gun Digest � 49th edition, that someone lent to me.

Bush baby,

Joseph is still up in Canada making his bolt action double rifles for custom orders. We spoke with him at the last or most recent Safari Club International show. He has attended the last 4 shows that I am aware of. These are very pricey rifles, definitely not for the frugal.
