I dropped a cape buff with my FN 9.3x62 - but it is a bit too light of a calibre, and not considered a "charge stopper" (same as the 375HH) in a dangerous situation. Therefore, if using the 9.3 or 375HH ALWAYS have the PH back you with his rifle (.400 cal and up).

Semiautomatics are not used in big game hunting.

@@petrameyer1121 Browning BAR(Browning Automatic Rifle),H&K 770(#630&990),Valmet "Petra"(means "hunter" in Finnish)as well as Remington 742 beg to differ.

I've had two standard grade Continental DB 12g shotguns in my time. Each one had selective ejectors and cooking indicators for each barrel - features you DON'T see on a $500.00 shotgun!! I still regret selling them!! 👍

I really doubt that "most" double rifles are British, although the British makes are probably most famous. Merkel is something new there since it is made in GERMANY, as is Krieghoff. Many Spanish makers, such a produce double rifles Grulla, AYA, and others. While there are others, Beretta is probably the best known of the Italian makers. Me thinks your "most" statement is a trifle off, although the Brit firms are, perhaps, the most widely known.

British double rifles are made for African hunting. European double rifles are made for boar hunts. Since African hunting is more exclusive I’m pretty sure more European double rifles are made nowadays

Until the ejectors jam..

What shorter barrel? It has the same barrel as other guns it looks shorter because the magazine feed is missing.

Benni Svensson you are supposed to close it like that, not fiddle with the toplever, they are built sturdy enough for it I bet you would slam it shut faced with a angry rhino (: 3x is okey even for driven hunts, remove the scope if it is below 50meters or so IMO

There is a review of the latest Tippmann in the July issue of Shooting Sports on sale 7th June 2018! We had to send it back before we got a chance to do a video.

Around 12.000 Euro without the scope.

18000 to 20000 $ US

7000 tops.

LOL, Good luck breaking it open against a cape buffalo. Side by sides require a LOT less movement to open and therefore quicker to reload

Seeing how the 9,3x74R is basically a rimmed .375 H&H, it can be a real pain in light rifles. My dad and I have a Bergstutzen (small and big caliber O/U) by Blaser. It weighs about 6 pounds and kicks pretty bad with the 300 grain boar load.

It was made for a different job.-Apparently W,M,"Karamojo"Bell honed his ivory-hunting skills by shooting cormorants with his .277 Rigby;but that was "Karamojo".Flight shooting birds with a high-powered rifle is frowned upon in our day & age,and for a number of very good reasons.

The problem is eye relief.

+skyym3 Respect the right of sovereign nations to dictate their own legislation. I don't love our gun laws, I'd prefer the ozzie system. But the reality is the Gun laws by and large make sense for the country just like yours do for yours. There's no need to be so holier than though when it comes to this subject, you don't hear us banging on about the right to roam.

l. kerr Okay, you do make sense with your post. I am not meaning to be holier than though. I just get upset when I hear about good people either getting put into jail because they defended their home and family with a firearm and the robbers getting off scott free as the poor victims. Your right, it is your Country and not mine. We do however have many people come from E.U. and bitch and moan about our laws and actually do there damnedest to change it more like where they came from. My personal opinion and the majority of U.S. citizens is that tyranny is rampant in the E.U. and slowly trying to creep into our Country. I apologize if I insulted you as you are entitled to your own living standards. The part about you like the Ozzie system, you know that adult law abiding good people can not even play with air soft guns there as they are illegal? These are toys. One more thing. Older folks are kind a open season in the E.U or at least that is what I read in many new organization sites.

skyym3 Well you did to be honest. I'm a pretty keen shooter and the idea that Europe is particularly more tyrannical than the united states on account of its firearm legislation is just laughable. As for people being criminalised for self defence as with all western nations each case is judged on its own merit. For example I had a mate who driving home through Manchester one night happened upon 4 guys football (soccer) kicking an unconscious man in the head, he told his wife to get out of the car and drove into them disabling one and he had no reprimand because they were killing that guy.I'd also point out that even if you discount all firearms crime Americas rate of violent crime is 4 times higher than Europe's taken as a whole so the issue of self defence is not as prevalent. The amount of cctv would be a much better talking point if you think we're living in tyranny over here. The reality is that firearms are just not a large enough part of the culture to be a political issue, when they banned semi-auto centre fire rifles which is an incredibly broad category (as i'm sure you know) about 3000 people in the whole country had them registered. Historically in the U'K people would be much more likely to associate firearms with the landed gentry shooting pheasants, not the frontier lifestyle or the war of independence as in the U.S. As for the Ossie system it does have its problems, its actually more absurd than you would think when I attempted to buy an air rifle for my uncle and could not even though I had a class c license, because it wasn't for me. I could've bought the Lee Enfield No.4 sat above the air rifle no problem Also my uncle who shoots pigs for a living can't buy any semi auto rifle that has been in military service and I for the life of me can't see why that makes sense. But I still think a tiered licensing system makes sense. What do you mean by older folks being open season? Because as a trainee paramedic in the NHS that seems to be contrary to my experience. I am kind of assuming you're talking about the public healthcare systems trouble dealing with an ageing population bought on by people tending to die in hospital now. But no nation on earth has solved that problem.

l. kerr I agree with many things you brought out, and disagree with a few things. We do live in very different Countries with very different problems, not to mention our cultural differences. Like I said, I apologize if I offended you, as that was not my intent. Have good day.

skyym3 Fair enough very courteous of you. It just annoys me as a gun guy, to be told that support of gun laws of any kind is tantamount to supporting tyranny. Have a good day yourself.

The 9,3x72R doesn't hammer. It's a very tame round. It does not even get to 2000 joules at 100m, but is perfect for roe deer due to the slow bullet and little meat destruction.

and not very fast either, he should watch some of the best cowboy shooters in action

Es un rifle con una potente parada! Me gusta

.308 won't give you an exit wound on the big 200-250lbs males. The .30-06 is great with the Norma Vulkan bullet, but 9,3x74R gives you a lot of reserves and especially when hunting driven game, you always want to see it going down in viewing distance.

@@MooseHunter330 if you pop a Barnes 168 grn TSX in the .308 you will get plenty of exit
