I wonder if one could have a double rifle chambered in the 7.62 X54R like used in the "Nagant" rifles. Those rifles are the crappiest looking thing in the world but after owning several I wouldn't want to be standing in front of a mad russian in the early 191X during a war with-in 500 meters, those things shoot like a house of fire. Some of that accuracy has to be contributed to the cartridge. It seems like the perfect double rifle cartridge for Black bear sized game, shoots a .308 bullet so reloading would be a sinch, and is rimmed. Recoil is almost non-existant in a 7-8 lb gun. I would think one of the European makers would have this as an option also. It is a cartridge that has been around forever.
