As much as I would like a double gun I'd also like to use whatever I get for hunting other things as well and I may even come across the od disgruntled pack of wolves. That Krieghoff looks like a neat machine though I do wonder if they ever bend the rods they slide on. I realise that a 12g or 45/70 is the logical choice but I'm not always a logical person. I'm wondering how much difference there is between a Browning BAR and BPR? Could a LH BAR receiver be fitted with modified BPR internals? Since they come in magnum rounds would they cycle a 375 h&h?
I mean chances are I'll probably waste everyone's time with these questions and then get a 12g anyway but it's nice to dream up what I want

That "rod" is the bolt. It actually works internally much like a bolt action but instead of the bolt going back and forward the "pump" means the forend does the moving. Having seen them in action I can say that if I had the $$$ I would have no qualms in grabbing one. we were watching a guy sight in his 300 win mag without any issues. The engineering and build quality puts the right up there as far as any other gun goes and they are top end firearms so I would suspect little change for $10k NZ if any.
