A .30 caliber Rimmed double would be fun, whether .30-30, .30-40 (  ), or .303. Good call . . . A Clark .30-30 Double Rifle is exactly what Jim used this past weekend to win the Stalking Rifle championship @ The Vintage Cup - 15th Annual Side by Side Event. Photo's of the 30-30 SXS would be nice..  I'll get some posted as soon as I can get them shot.

You mean DSC in Dallas. SCI is in Reno.

A few observations; I don't care for the straight grip on a DR especially a BIG bore because of recoil issues. We'll build with either style stock (English/Straight OR Pistol grip). As far as shotgun actions, no issues there, LOTS of DR makers first used them, Merkel comes to mind. If these are Huglus, they make some nice stuff (their labor costs are low).
Exactly right. Almost all double rifles are made using shotgun designed actions.

I think a double in .348 Win. would be a useful caliber for North American game.
Also, for more velocity than the .30-40 and .30-30 gives, a wildcat based on the .348 necked down to .30 caliber might be usefull.

Renee,
Can you make a separate set of 30-30 barrels for my 28ga ringneck, and I get to keep the 28ga barrels? That way I could have a switch-barrel gun!
Our God reigns.
Harrumph!!!

Now that is a super cool idea! Sets of barrels in say 20ga and 45Colt would have just about all hunting in Indiana covered with style!

Hmm a .303 Savage would be better than the british.
Well, any really .22 hi-power, .250, .300 or .303 savage

I Renee glad to see an US gunsmith making double rifles. I'm from Europe and i use some of the best one, be they modern over under or classic side by side. Nothing wrong using a CZ action and receiver they are rather strong, stronger than most of ergal made over under. I don't like your sight and english stock on a rifle but I like the old calibers you use for. And at 5 grands they are not too pricey for a custom on order made gun. If your regulation is as good as you claim you got a winner.
Good luck

Did you see the Sabatti 9.3 X 74R at the East Hartford Cabelas? The wood is spectacular in its figure. Almost too good? The metal fit seems good and its only $2900 or so. The wood looks something like this one. Wood on Sabatti double rifle True the pad is weak and "opto wood" is carved into the pistol grip. These were real klunkers. They were rife with problems and poor regulation. The more expensive big bores were a bit better, however. I like the Clark's looks and gun in general. I might be in trouble if they offer it in 9,3X74R on an appropriate frame.

A .356 Winchester would be easier to find blanks for, I imagine. Pretty close in performance, if not in nostalgia.

Fun seeing this topic come back up. Those are nice groupings for a DR.

fwiw,
I've been looking for a Double Rifle in .22 Hornet for years... I could keep the local ditch panther population under control in style. Very interesting...
