Drei ist besser! :) Drilling by Sauer & Sohn - 7x57r + 16/70

I know from the Kettner & Frankonia (German hunting store chains) catalogues that you can get a rifled barrel in 22lr (or other calibres)to put in one of the 16b barrels.

Looking at importing one from Germany even as we speak!

You are right - in the Fatherland it is known as an 'einstecklauf'. A sub-calibre barrel with an extractor activated by opening the gun. Available in calibres from .22lr right up to some meaty c/f rounds. They feature the ability to be zeroed to the scope and are normally capable of MOA accuracy.

My preference is for a .22lr due to noise considerations - but what a versatile handful it will make!

On cue, I have just had a call from a neighbour with Roe chewing his roses. I fancy tonight will be the ideal evening for a wander!

Now, leather trousers.... check....... Loden Jacket......Huh, where did that get to!!??!!

Loden jacket....you'll be out yodeling at the deer next they'll die of fright no need for your new fancy gun then. You can give it to me . I'm rubbish at yodeling!

Waidmansheil for you stalking tonight and good luck with the import from Germany. You might want to give these guys a try http://www.triebel.de/. I have used them before and they are reliable and friendly. They also take credit card, which can be a problem with some German companies as they insist on bank transfers - little do they know that we in rip off land pay £30 in banking fees and get a crappy exchange rate to boot! If there is anything I can do to help send me a PM.

Cheers

i believe that the ww2 german desert bomber crews used to be issued the sig sauer version of your gun as a survival tool.

More information - thankyou!

Apparently, SIG only joined with JP Sauer & Sohn in the seventies. This was done with the aim of bringing their firearms to a worldwide market and avoiding restrictions placed on firearms exports by the Swiss government.

Drillings were never popular in the US. But rifle / shotgun combinations (only 1barrel of each) have a following. They tend to be inexpensive utility guns.

Mr Gain - are you reading?

All I can say is, if you spot one with a l/h stock on it, let me know!

(Ah, left-handedness: the last refuge of the envious!)

What a great piece of kit - do the 16g barrels have ejectors?#

P.S. This one's a bit rich for me - more's the pity!
