LongDistanceOperatorBolt action double rifle?
In the July 2001 issue of Precision Shooting, there's a photo of a rifle by Szecesi and Fuchs. It has a bolt that is very large in diameter and what appears to be a side mounted magazine with rounds stacked vertically. The photo is from Germany's IWA fair (Internationales Waffen Ausstellung/International Firearms Exhibition).
Has anyone else seen more information on this rifle? I think this would be interesting reading for many of the members of this site.
Thank you, LDO

DB BillSeveral years ago they had one of the rifles at SCI...two barrels, 2 triggers and 2 magazines. You shot one side dry and then started working on the other. I don't think I'd take it out of the safe without a gunsmith with me.

D HunterI saw it in the SCI article. Looked like all the weight and liabilities of both types of action and only asset being a double's quick second shot. For what the thing cost one could buy half a dozen entry level doubles or a couple of Holland and Hollands. Good hunting "D"

500grainsI saw it and thought it was quite interesting and very nice looking, but I do not know if it is reliable or not.
But there are some nice bolt action big bores at www.hambrusch.at

OldsargeI handled it at the convention a couple of years ago. It was a technical tour de force but any practicality it might have had totally eluded me. Someone must have liked it, though, I saw some overfed dude write a $30,000 deposit on one!

LongDistanceOperatorGentlemen-
Thank you for your answers. I'm sorry I haven't responded sooner. Tuesday I was glued to the TV. I did make the rounds on the boards, but I only made on post; about a NYC Cop who some people hadn't heard from. (Ken Russo. He's OK.)
What I heard yesterday on the radio just made me sick to my stomach. It may sound strange, but after hearing what happened to a few specific women, I thought I was going to vomit. I hope all of NATO hunts down and steps on bin Laden and his Cockroach Cohorts.
Well, I'm off to the range to sight in my .30-'06 and align the scope on my .22-250.
I just don't have words to express my sorrow for the victims of Tuesday's attack. Lee
