But Rev,just think about how cool it would be killing hogs with a 7x57R double rifle! All the others pigs would be jealous that they are being killed with plain-jane rifles.

I'll grant you that it's pretty and not a lot for a double rifle. But I seem to remember someone else who is in the market for a double rifle.
