I haven't seen it since I can't get any outdoor channels in the People's Republic of new Jersey but from what others have written in AR - he doubled it. Wish someone would video that segment and post to YouTube ...

Yup it doubled. He explains later how it happened. When sighting it in, the second barrel was slightly more on target so when it came time to shoot at the elephant, he chose the second barrel first. He explained it was really his own fault as the gun was designed with a lighter sear on the first barrel & heavier on the second so it wouldn't double. When he fired the second barrel first, the first barrel's sear released causing the double. It was quite a video. Took him right off his feet knocking him several feet back and the gun hit him in the head. Did put both shots into the elephants head at close range & he took it pretty good. Sure stunned him & the guide though. | |||

I thought 1 of the great strengths of the DR was being able to load a soft and a solid and instantly choose the appropriate barrel as needed. ____________________________________________ "If a man can't trust himself to carry a loaded rifle out of camp without risk of shooting somebody, then he has no business ever handling a rifle at all and should take up golf or tennis instead."

You are correct, it is a good feature to have. And you can, if your triggers are not too light. Some doubles have too light a poundage on their triggers. Also some might say that you only need solids for a 600... Still... You do not need light triggers on a double, especially a 577 or a 600.IMHO of course. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

] Agree about .620 diameter bullets and the hole they make - soft kinda redundant but fun nonetheless.

To be honest, I view it as a design defect if recoil could cause a trigger to fire. If the trigger is set to very few ounces it could be understandable, but anything 2 lbs. and up it seems to me that the trigger design needs to be revisited. | |||

I hope it comes on again soon because I would like to see it. | |||

Sometimes I think there is quite a bit of B.S. on Tony show Under Wild Skies. On a recent show he was hunting elephant with a short scoped Blaser in a 375. He missed the brain shot on the elephant at what looked to be about 20-50 yards. His explanation was that he forgot to hold a little low on the brain shot because the scope was 1.5" over his iron sites. I am not saying that it is easy to hit the brain on an elephant, but saying you missed because of the difference in site plane at that close of distance I found humorous. Mac | |||

I had this happen on a 375 ferlach bouilt in the sixtyies; should never happen even with a set trigger. took the gun appart and pulled the hammer; sure enough there was a hailine crack fron the pivot pin thru the sear notch and when the back trigger was pulled first it would double every time. My bud a master machinist made a new one ( actually 3) on his cnc and heat treated to the appropriate rockwell and its never doubled again. Even with the front set trigger set. And the set trigger is 1.5 oz. If i owned that 600 the action would be taken appart and all parts inspected!
