Re: What to get?
I have three drilling’s, all of them slightly different and designed for slightly different purposes.
My first rifle I ever shot was my grandfathers old drilling.
16 gauge X 16 gauge X 7x57R. That old gun was rough around the edges from years of use, but it always put dinner on the table.
That gun took pigeon, duck, hare, red deer and heaps of snakes.
The real advantage of the BD14 or any other drilling or combination gun is that you are prepared for any game. The BD14 does it’s best work for me when I was walking the paddock with my GSP. We might spend an afternoon stalking deer, but we come back to camp with a bag of quail, or a couple of ducks. My R8 is a better deer rifle, and my Merkel shotgun a better quail gun, but the BD14 does it all well. You are prepared for any type of game with a drilling or combination gun... that’s their real advantage.

This was a beast of a gun. I held one a few years ago when an ex blaserbud had the import business.

Never seen a break action gun with a magazine.

I wouldn't mind seeing a few videos of them, not quite my flavour ice-cream but definitely something innovative.
I'm soft and I don't care.

Re: What to get?
It was zee Arnold Schwarzenegger of combination guns. One in 308Win would have been good. But one in 9.3x62 is even better Not sure where it is now, or every went back to germany. I have to say the slimmer pump I preferred as it was only 2.7kg.9.3x64 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 2:08 pmGeez, that’s bloody unique!mchughcb wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 5:30 am This was a beast of a gun.
