African double barrel bolt action rifle

[AckleymanII]

Very unique design, 8 Shots of 416

This guy says he got charged by three elephants at one time, he went back to Austria and made the double barrel bolt action. They maybe available in the 6.5 Creed

Calibers range from the pachyderm busting .470 Capstick down through the .416 Remington Magnum and .375 Holland & Holland Magnum for African and Asian Safari. Calibers then head down to include the European 9.3x62mm, 8x68S and the American 30/06 all the way down to the diminutive .17 HMR rimfire.

That is pretty darn interesting, but I have to wonder with the amount of moving parts if it is much more reliable than a high quality auto would be.

Exactly why big break action doubles were made. Stone reliable and no jams.

I’d hate to pack that thing around long. Looks Really heavy

If you have the coin to own one of these, you would have a gun bearer.

....and with a gun bearer you would not need it. He could carry a back up regular two barrel for you.

It has to have some weight to defeat the recoil from some of the larger, dangerous game cartridges. The folks who choose something along the lines of the .30-06 or God forbid, the .17 HMR don't have too much to be concerned about.

Per Mr. Fuchs, 6 shots in 20 seconds. The hunter needs to be experienced in hunting dangerous game in order to make the proper shot in the first place. That's why most pay a PH in order to get the best advice possible.

These rifles are a marvel of engineering and machining design. You really owe it to yourselves to actually handle one when they display at Safari Club International.

He will be counties away by the time you reach for that second rifle to stop a charge!
