You'd be better off just buying a Sabatti or Chapuis than trying to turn a shotgun into a double rifle.

Will, I've checked that out in detail. The above advice is sound, unless you're a gunsmith yourself. Unless you have a strong attachment to the firearm for some reason, it makes more sense to just buy an entry-level used double rifle. The costs of a conversion, if done properly, will exceed the price of a decent used Merkel, Blaser, and certainly a Sabatti.

I don't know what your budget is, but Galazan's was building the RBL as a sxs slug gun and may still have some available. See this item on their web site:
