larrys01Interesting krieghoff Double on Gunbroker
Two Barrel set. 500/416 & 30-06 w/access.
http://www.gunbroker.com/Aucti....aspx?Item=286918747I don't understand the pricing. K guns are going for around $9K, so, in theory anyway, one could buy 2 complete guns for $18K or so. You don't get the nice case of course, and I don't know how common the 30.06 caliber is in a SxS K gun. I own a K gun in 500/416 and love it!
Just my 2 cents, Peter.
Yes, that one has been there for some time. Peter is probably right...it's a regular grade and in an non-traditional caliber, and priced pretty high.

I agree. I also own one. Just thought it was a neat combo.

larrys01I just listed some 500/416 factory ammo for sale in the classifieds
Larry, the 500/416 might be non-traditional, but getting 416 Rigby ballistics in a flanged DR cartridge is a great concept. I don't know why it hasn't been more popular....go figure.

I agree. I get MOA accuracy with Barnes 300 gr and 400 gr bullets and the 300 grain are doing 2450 FPS

It is just a personal thing with me, but I have never been able to warm up to any of the .416 cartridges, and certainly not a 30-06 in a double rifle!
Even if it were a fine combination, I like Peter, do not understand the pricing, when you can buy two rifles for about the same price!
