Double rifle at a reasonable price?

[Utedder]

Does anyone know of a brand of double rifle, hopefully .30-06, that is reasonably priced? I've wanted one for hunting and just to have, but they all seem to have an extra 0 in the price tag! Thanks

Baikal may be what you’re looking for.

It's only dirty paper until you turn it into something.

The 0's mean nothing in the price of things. It is the . that makes the difference.

Thanks, but this has a starting bid of over $9,000. I think Baikal is more my speed.

Thanks. About $1,000+ is about a cheap as I can expect. I'm trying to avoid, and would not buy, $10,000, 20,000, 200,000. I don't know why they are so expensive. I think it's the high quality brands that I mostly see. Handmade, hand-engraved, walnut, etc.

You have to remember, in a double, both barrels have to be "regulated" to the same point of impact in relation to the sights. For a shotgun you might not notice as much. But, for a rifle caliber, that takes some hand work.

There used to be liners that were rifled inserts. They went into the shotgun barrels and converted the shotgun into a double rifle. They came in various calibers and barrel lengths. I don't remember if they were brand specific.

Eds gunshop in Vass had a Baikal double in 3006 posted 2 days ago. Give him a call.

Baikals do have a barrel regulator screw. Might not be adjusted perfect from the factory. I held a few when Remington was importing them. Was sure I had to have a 45/70. Once I got my hands on one changed my mind. Just did not feel like a solid rifle, though opinions may vary.
