Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Combination Guns and Drillings Show Us Your Combo Gun

Where did you get the leather rifle shell holder? Looks handy, I'd like one for shot shells.

Here is my Antonio Zoli 12ga / 7x57R, interchangeable chokes. Originally it seems to have had no provision for scope mounting. The previous owner put a mount on but didn't make it strong enough for the recoil of the shotgun, 4 6x48 screws. I had a gunsmith replace it with a mount 6 8x40 screws and 2 recoil pins. I also had the firing pin of the rifle barrel break, the gunsmith made another out of a less brittle steel along with replacements for both pins, Murphy Law Principle: If you have replacement parts, you will never need them... The scope is a older Burris shotgun scope, 1x to 4x, with 22 inches of eye relief at 1x! The 4x has not seemed to hold me back so far but the longest shot I've made is 300yds on a mule deer doe. Consistent 6 inch groups at 300yds. The butt pack shell holder I have holds 5 rifle rounds and has a zipper pack that holds 7 2&3/4 12ga shells and raises the comb a bit for scope use.

I have 3 combo guns

A 1970ish Savage/Valmet 12ga over a 308 win


A Valmet 3 barrel set 30-06 double, 12gs / 222 and 20 ga double


A Kreighof 12x12x30-06

Hamour, I enjoyed the pictures and the walk through time. Neat!

I second that. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Question. I found a BRNO 12/7x57R with 12/12 barrels and case. The guy is wanting $1550 for the set. I know very little about that brand and also how hard the rifle ammo is to find but I know it's a nice looking set.
HELP

Depends, there are about four different Brno combo guns, many of which are pretty rough.

You can form 7x57R cases from .444 Marlin brass, I would use virgin cases.

7X57R ammo isn't hard to find. Midway and Graf usually have a supply, as do many on-line ammo sellers.

The BRNO combo isn't my cup of tea; I don't like the receiver design. They do work well and are strong. If this gun has a scope and mount the asking price is about tops in my estimation.

You can still find an occasional Valmet or Tikka 412/512 with two barrel sets for about that price. I much prefer them.

thanks a million. Think I'll keep looking as the receiver was about butt ugly. Help me watch for a Valmet..

If you can nab this for about $700-750 it would make a nucleus for a system. Barrels show up sporadically, and you can probably find a 12/30-06 or 12/308 set for around the same price.

Here's my Merkel 211E/ 231E combo set 16/7x57R & 16/16

And yes, it still does real work...



my Heym 16/.222 Light, accurate and handy!

I also have a Krieghoff and a Sauer drilling, like them all!

WOW, some beauties. Love that 16/.222.

FS Weaver 24 scope mount base

Maybe not the best place to put this, but I have a focused audience...

Somehow I have a spare new weaver mount for a savage 24 with nothing to put it on. Shoot me a PM if you would like to buy it.

I've got one just like that (no scope). They are a bit unusual due to the larger barrel selector button located on the left side of the receiver. The button style selectors were usually located on the right side of the receiver.

Trim little pre-war drilling. Original scope with original claw mounts with engraved rings. Short 16ga chambers on top of 8X57JR. Shown "on the hunt" from my tree house (OK its just a glorified platform) last year. Unfortunately didnt get to speak her voice last season. I'm new here so I guess the admins only let me post small size files.

Nice piece '86! And it is a ?

Nothing of mine got to clear its throat last season either.

Welcome!

That is a very nice drilling! What is the scope...a later 4X Hensoldt, maybe?

This is not the prettiest 24 that I have, but it is the baddest! 357Rem Max/20 Ga

Its a Jackenroll marked AJACK scope but its unusual in that it is marked "5X". Typical German 3 post reticle, which I prefer over a duplex reticle for hunting.

i've debated opening the chambers to 2-3/4 but it just seems like an offense to mess with an original gun.

I pretty much just lengthen the forcing cones and shoot 2 3/4" ammo. I've never had a problem using medium loads.

Those were good scopes. Flaig's and Stoeger imported them, the last being Flaig's. Flaig's also imported some very fine guns.

I have a Blaser BBF 97, with two barrel sets, 20 gauge/6.5X55, and 20/9.3X74R. I ordered another set in 12 gauge/8X57JRS, and a fore arm for the bigger barrels. It slapped right on, and required no fitting. Loaded up a few rounds. It took a few to get it centered on the paper, then fired my first three shot group. Got a nice honest one inch group, still a couple inches low. I will play with it a bit, and tighten things up. My new forearm is a bit blonde compared to my buttstock, but I can live with it. So far I am pleased with my third barrel set.
