I have a nice pre-war drilling 12x12x 9.3x74R from the early to mid 1930s [ marked Carl Calz Dusseldorf if I recall ] and it is a beauty, I have two JP Sauers in 12x12x30/06 with scopes [ one has a 6x42 Nickel, the other has two fitted scopes a 1.5 - 7, and a huge 2.5x10] as well as 22 WMR insert barrels for each of those. also there is a fine Collath hammer drilling which is chambered in standard 9.3x72R x12x12, and a neat little post war sauer 16x16 that had the rifle barrel sleeved and converted to 22 LR [ great small game and bird gun ]. I have a 20x20x25/35 and an old Baker10x10x44/40 also. I have had others over the years as well.
