The 9.3x74 cartridge is down right sexy. Wanted one in a drilling or double but practicality and budgets overruled this. I saw a "pilots" version military issue survival rifle that I could have swung for but was gone by the time I made up my mind. Also ammo was pretty scarce at that time.

I have always thought the Kodiak double muzzle loader would be a great hog rifle if using black powder. There are usually chances at a double and good to have when the pigs run the wrong direction, like when a whole pack thinks it can hide in the smoke from the initial shot.
