This is possibly the coolest rifle in the history of the universe

[DannyLandrum]

Behold the Szecsei & Fuchs Double Barrel Bolt action.

So beautiful and functional. Drooling....



Would love to have it in a smaller caliber, but not sure which one.

Watched that video a few days ago. Very cool, but I'd sure hate to know how much one of those bad boys costs new! The auction is already at $14,000, and their estimate is $27,500-37,500 for a used rifle. Yikes!

 

[someguy2800]

It will be well worth it just so you can have the experience of pulling both triggers at the same time.


You know you want to.

 

[DannyLandrum]

Oh I do want to. I put my faith in Gun Jesus.

 

[DannyLandrum]

That's chump change compared to some of these engraved Blasers on gunbroker (up to $150K) - I'd much rather have something like that old one at the same price, much less 1/5th of those Blasers go for.

 

[Pat Riot]

That is a very cool rifle. Thanks DannyLandrum.

 

[Legionnaire]

That is very cool. Didn’t know such a thing existed. Thanks!

 

[7mmsavage]

That thing is cool. I’d like to watch someone shoot it just to see cases ejecting out of both sides at the same time. That would really be a sight in a small bore semi auto.

I don’t know if it was that brand or a one of built by someone, but the NRA Museum had a double barrel bolt action when I visited. (Dang, thinking back that was almost 8 years ago. Seems like only a few.) Sorry for the derail... But the one they had was fully engraved with an African scene. Gorgeous gun. I would’ve loved to had a better look at it, out of the glass case.

Danny....
Thanks for sharing this awesome rifle....I kind of liked the one in background as well......thanks again...

Whatever you shoot would be killed twice as dead

I never knew something like this existed as a functional rifle.

This has inspired me to ask for help in designing a quad barreled bolt action, but in a lighter recoil caliber.

I figure we should do it in 6.5 Creedmoor.
A) It would be an awesome rifle to see in reality.
B) We would get to see Creedmoor fanatics physically pop and burst into puffs of confetti from fanatical overload.
We shall market it as: "The most Smug rifle ever built!"

I saw one of these for sale at one of the National Gun Day shows in Louisville last year. What a beast! I didn't realize it was anything but a one-off until I saw the Forgotten Weapons video a couple of weeks back.

 

[jmr40]

I can appreciate the complex design and workmanship. But as a practical rifle I'd not want one. Would be cool to put a few rounds through it.

 

[Walkalong]

Seriously cool indeed.

 

[Ks5shooter]

Pretty cool work of art

 

[Legionnaire]

13.3 pounds without a scope ... Scope it and load it up with eight rounds and what's it going to weigh? Pretty close to 15? Very cool, but not very agile!

 

[22250Rem]

Wow...... What a piece of ultra high quality top end art. For the hunter who has everything. Never seen one and I'm sure it's a bit too expensive for me but it's fascinating to watch the video. Thanks for posting that.

Then don't go pricing what a Holland and Holland, Peter Hofer, Philip Ollendsof , Harmann & Weiss or similar cost. Hofer makes one gun that goes for $600,000 and takes 2 years to complete......

1. Ian is a very cool dude. I had the chance to meet him and chat about guns when he was in town.
2. Since he started working in conjunction with a couple of the big auction houses he has access to some super cool stuff.

Double rifles have been used in Africa for a long time. The only difference is they're breech loaders.

This is a whole new concept. One I have never seen and very interesting.

You need backup when you hunt dangerous animals.

I’ll buy one but only if you make all 4 go off at the same time with one trigger.

For me, I put this in the engineering category of things that you CAN do, but probably SHOULD NOT do.

Seriously, in a dangerous game scenario, I regard it as being too mechanically complicated to be very reliable. It that situation, I think that reliability is of paramount importance.

Less seriously, I think the thing to too complicated to be trusted. But then, the same can be said for double-decker buses because there is no driver on the top (and with apologies to Joni).

Sort of like German cars when they go off warranty. lol

Interesting rifle, but not one I'd ever have any use for. But cool to see it just the same.

The first NFA registered bolt action. I like it!
