bolt action double rifle

Now that is an interesting concept... I understand they go for about 40k....

Doesn't exactly fit into the "classic" double rifle catagory but it certainly fits the bill for having two bullets readily available... Then another 6 in case you need them....

Heat, the rifle holds six total, two in the chambers and four in the magazine!

I've seen these things in several form as it was being designed, and re-designed, but nobody has ever shown a target shot with this thing.
It is an interesting idea, but not for me, even if it were afordable. Of course if you have to use a push feed DGR, at least this one makes some sense! Better than a single barrel PF rifle, at least you get two shots before there is a chance of a malfunction.

A hybrid with none of the advantages of the double rifle and all of the disadvantages of a bolt rifle.

It is still cool as heck!

Another massively intricate and expensive solution to a problem that does not exist. Bolt rifles are ugly enough as it is - this one is double ugly, and costs more to boot.

I am holding out for the Holland and Holland belt fed version.

Touch a nerve, Bill?


Understandable when posted by a custom stock maker! Just kidding you, I like my bolt rifles almost as much as REAL RIFLES!

There is no accounting for taste. Some folks like Studebakers and brunettes.

How would you like carrying that fat sucker? Be like trying to palm Hillary's butt.
Brent

Now there's a visual I didn't need popping into my head.

Id have to agree with you on that one jim

Brent,
that last part was pretty disgusting...you are one sick puppy, politically-porn speaking. Shaquille O'Neal couldn't palm that spread!

2nd, are you telling me you turn down a mint supercharged Hawk GT or an Avanti with a 24 year old Adrienne Barbeau riding shotgun?

Well I can't really say since I couldn't decode a word of it. But the answer is - maybe.

Brent

like adrianne barbeau was in cannonball run in the ferrari....... i wouldn't turn that down......

The complexity of a repeater with the weight and expense of a double. the shooter in the video would be better off just learning how to properly operate a bolt action without removing it from his shoulder.

I have handled one of those bolt action double rifles. My take is they are large heavy and not that slick to operate. I think if you need that many rounds you should move up to something crew served.
