It really a rifle drilling but was unusual enough I thought I would post a few pics.
Maker is Mathelon, all 3 barrels are 9.3X74R, barrels are 21.5", LOP 14 3/4", and weight is 122oz or only 7.63lb. The front trigger is mechanical, and fires the right barrel and then the left, the second trigger fires the bottom barrel.

OK so how much $$$'s.

Go ahead and scare us. Or at least some of us. Packy

It looks good - is the maker in Germany?

The maker is in France and is mentioned in the new Drilling book. Additional pics can be seen at www.kebcollc.com click on firearms and then rifles. It has a interesting locking system that can be seen in the pics.
Price is $11,800

You looking for the first "tripling"?

hey ken. what kind of accuracy are they getting and how does a scope work? seems like it would be nice to have that extra round

They are regulated for the Norma 286gr ORYX bullet, to shoot all 3 barrels within 6cm (2.3") at 50 meters. I bought one for myself to play with and will have it out tomorrow, report to follow.

Typo. "Rifled drilling". Might be some confusion.

Now that is a fine looking rifle! If it shoots as good as it looks and the triggers work as advertized, it would be a fine hunting rifle for sure!

That has always been my idea of the way a three barrel rifle's triggers should work! the right trigger work the right barrel, and the back trigger work the left barrel on the first pull,and the lower barrel on the second pull! Here a single trigger for two barrels makes sence, if the single trigger fails, you still have a working single shot, with the right barrel. If a single trigger fails on a double rifle, you are out of business!

The thing I'd like is to find the balla nce point on this TRIPLE rifle. Though the barrels are short, they will be heavier than a pair the same length. ???????? Balanced, or barrel heavy?????????????

Looks good, and something I might be interested in if it regulates well, and ballances! From the looks of it, I say........

Shot mine today. Overall I am pleased. I did not have any of the 286 Norma Oryx that the gun is regulated with but did shoot some 286 Norma Alaska, 285 RWS, and 291 RWS. At 50 yards, firing 6 round groups (all 3 barrels 2x), I was getting groups of 2.25" (5.5 cm) to just under 3"(7cm). I shot 40 rounds and was getting tired but as I get more practice with the gun I do not think it will difficult to regularly keep groups in the low 2" or better.

Holy cow! I figured under no circumstances I would ever hear this out of you. Why not just 3 triggers?

I love it! Ejectors or extractor ??

Will, the second trigger working as a single trigger for the left, and bottom barrel is far better, and much quicker than a selector switch usually found on these three barrel guns, and still leaves one barrel completely indipendant from the multi barrel trigger, while still leaving you with a working single shot if the back trigger fails.

This rifle is an extractor rifle. Ejectors would be a difficult thing for this type rifle!

The maker uses the same frame to make several types of drillings including more conventional rifle/shotgun (ie 20x20x9.3 or 9.3 x 9.3 x20) and mixed rifle cal guns (ie 8mmx8mmx9.3) and even 2 barrel sets, as a result the top two barrels are always the same cal or guage and the bottom barrel can be the same or something very different. That is why the bottom barrel is on a different trigger and the first trigger works as a single trigger for the right and left barrel.

In this case where all three barrels are the same even if you forget and pull the first trigger once and then go to the second trigger you will still have 2 shots and can always go back and pull the first trigger a second time for the third shot. However, the gun is regulated to shoot the right, left and bottom barrel in that order

That is opposite what I thought, but would still leave one indipendant single shot in case of the single trigger for two of the barrels failed. The only thing would be to use the single shot it would be slower to reload that bottom barrel, but it would work either way!

One more question, is this rifle fitted with an automatic safety, or a manual? If an Auto, can the auto feature be made manual?

$11.8K is a friggin steal for that rifle!

The safety does not automatically come on as the gun is opened.

The front trigger is mechanical, and will fire the second barrel with a second pull of the trigger. Unlike the inertia type single trigger that requires the recoil of the first shot to "set" the trigger for the second shot the mechanical trigger will work for the second barrel even if the first barrel fails to fire (empty chamber, bad cartridge, etc)
