I was at a sporting clay course over the weekend and had one of these speciality rifles in my hands. It's a double bolt double sxs rifle Blaser R93, when you pull the bolt handle straight back there are two bolts, which pick up a cartridge from each magazine and load it. Two triggers fires them, extract straight back, picks up two more cartridges, ready for two more shots (Total of 8 rounds available).
It is quite heavy, but rather short. Caliber I think was .416. It definitely was cool. How practical? I don't know, but I can see the thought process. Anyway, pretty cool, especially to have one in your hands, they don't give them away!! Waidmannsheil, Dom.
