Over/Under Rifles

[BigNyaKelly]

Can anybody recommend an over/under break action rifle that isn't a shotgun? The higher caliber the better ideally, and maybe one with a polymer stock? I've been looking all over the internet and am having trouble coming up with one I want to buy. I only know *that* I want to buy one, but have yet to find one I love.

Tikka used to produce them,I think it was a model 412.

Finding one with polymer stock is going to be a problem as most people in the market for this type of rifle are going to want wood stocks, typically very nice wood stocks. Also, be prepared to load your own ammo as most O/U rifles will be of European origin and chambered in calibers popular in Europe which can be difficult and expensive to get here. The most common larger caliber is going to be 9.3x74R but I have seen some chambered in 450/.400. Any O/U chambered in a larger caliber is going to be pretty rare or have to be custom built.

I looked through Gunjoker. There are quite a few (9 pages) of VERY expensive rifles.

Browning Continental, 30-06 or .270

Nice looking

Jager did .375 h&h conversions to some Ruger Red Labels way back

Cheapest double fix of quality used to be the side by side rifled 20 ga RBL by CSMC.
Years ago new they were 3500. Dunno if still made or what they fetch now

I kinda wanted to mess w a Baikal side by side .30-06 MP221 way back.
But their stuff was kinda rough.

I feel like I'd do some custom work to it if I got one of those. Like, some cosmetic only modifications. Because yeah, it's pretty fugly~

The Baikal side by side was kinda ugly cool.

The Merkel B4 is same cal both barrels, one .30-06 pending on certain site.....around 5K.
They make it in small and larger cals.

A double .308 win looks pretty neat

Yooooo, I like the look of that. Wish it had less Pic Rail though.

Just a SWAG, but I'm betting those rails will screw right off?

I want one too!

I owned one of the Valmet 412s, 30.06, back in the 1980s. OK gun but nothing to brag about.
