A drilling might be his only (hunting) weapon, even including a. But what about here? A hunter in Germany would always be prepared with a drilling a wild boar may come into range while duck hunting. In Europe and most definitely Africa, where seasons for various game overlap and the game inhabits the same terrain, combo's, well, some of them, do make sense. Then there are variations of the 4 barrel vierling, but why? If you can physically carry it, and financially endure it, there are shops in the old country that will build you your wonder combo. Vierling Same as drilling, but with an ADDITIONAL small rifle barrel positioned either above or immediately below the smoothbores. To rattle down a few, and bewilder you with their respective gigantic German designations, take your pick for the coming Christmas season: (sticker shock is definitely guaranteed!!)Дrilling Side by side shotgun, with rifle barrel centered below the smoothboresД«ockdrilling Shotgun barrel above large rifle barrel, with small rifle barrel to one side slightly above large rifle barrelДoppelbГјchsdrilling Side by side rifle, with shotgun barrel centered below them Well, in particular the Germans and Austrians have gone totally nuts with respect to combination guns. If you saw the story about my '95 vacation, you read about the drilling, a combination shotgun/rifle hunting tool. But I'm also a big fan of them, so we decided to do this story together. After reading about the T/C Contender and insert barrels in these pages about a year ago, he mentioned to me that he had been thinking about doing a few paragraphs on combo's, primarily since he is a proud combo owner himself. Now, if all I have is my combo gun, I feel that these few additions will help keep me alive in the wilderness.T he seed for this story was actually planted by Dan. I put a piece of duct tape over the butt of the stock to help protect the contents and then screwed the butt plate back on. In this hole I placed a small compass, a fire striker, some jute string for tinder, a small packet with 5 fishhooks and 5 sinkers, a 30 feet of mono-filament fishing line. I took a 7/8вЂќ paddle bit and drilled another hole into the butt that is about two inches deep. I figured this would keep the tube from rattling around and provide me with some cleaning patches. When this tube was inserted into the hole, I had about an inch-and-a-half of space left over so I cut a strip of cloth, rolled it up, and stuffed it in the hole. I scrounged up a long plastic tube that would hold 18 more CBвЂ™s and 6 more long rifles. I removed the butt plate and found that a nice, deep hole had been drilled for the nut that attaches the receiver to the stock. 22 long rifle hollow points and ten CBвЂ™s. In the fifth loop I inserted a plastic coin tube with a screw on lid. This sleeve has five loops on it, so I placed 20 gauge buckshot shells in four of the loops. Next I bought a cartridge sleeve for the stock.

The sling makes it easier to carry the gun and it can be dissembled to provide a lot of cordage. Then I used fifty feet of 550 para-cord to tie up a nice cobra knot sling. The first thing I did was buy a set of sling mounts and attach them to the gun. I decided to make a few modifications to my combo gun so that even if the gun was all I had time to grab, I would still have a fighting chance at survival. Someone 100 yards away wonвЂ™t even hear the discharge. 22 caliber subsonic rounds that have a signature about like an air rifle but are capable of penetrating 300 pages of a telephone book. It can be used to hunt anything from wood rats to deer, and in a pinch it can serve as a personal defense weapon. It is light, well made, accurate, and has few moving parts. The gun that sits next to my bug-out bag is an old Savage Model 24 combo gun chambered in.
