Double 9.3X74R, double 12 Ga and 12 over 5.6X52R. Each has a scope, and the 9.3 and combo have aperture sights. I have two factory left hand stocks and a right hand stock too. Some photos: https://imgur.com/gallery/fHsrsn7

Those Valmets have always been on my radar, but on the edges. I used to look at them in the Gun Digests and tell myself, "Gee these look practical." But for some reason I never owned one.

Valmet, like Krieghoff, made a smart move and basically copied the old Remington model 32 shotgun action rather than reinvent the wheel. I never could warm up to the looks, but the design is mechanically a great one.

i have heard of them but never saw a left hand stock. considering the neutral cast on most what was really the advantage on that left hand stock. and i still have a double 9.3x74r and a set of 12 ga 2 3/4 plus another 412 in 222 rem and 12 3/4 ... looking for a combo barrel in 7x65r + 12 ga or 9,3x74r or 8x57jrs and 12 ga.

I have a 412 that came with double 06 barrels and last tees t I picked up a set of 9.3x74R barrels.

They are fantastic shooters.

One day when I am flush with funds I’ll find a set of 12 ga barrels and I would love to find a set of 7x65R barrels but I’m not sure they set was ever made.


I once saw a set of 375 Win barrels that had been rechambered to 375 JDJ. Fornthe life of me I couldn’t u deratand why they didn’t go with 375 Flanged.

I have never seen 7X65R barrels. I have had 375 Win barrels rechambered to 375 Flanged magnum but the twist was too slow for bullets over 250 grains. I also had a set of shotgun barrels monoblocked to 450/400. That was a nice set. But all I need now are the 9.3 barrels, the combo, and 12 and 20ga screw choke barrels.
