A Niederwilddrilling such as this today is a charming thing of the past, due to very different hunting conditions.
As I may have mentioned, I recently acquired a nice though slightly (ab)used unnamed Drilling, chambered for 24/65, 24/65 and 6,5x52R. Handles and points like a charm.
I still have to shoot it, though.
I just love drillings. I've owned several and am now perfectly content with the two I've worked into.
Question. Are 24 gauge hulls, ammo or loading components available? That would have to be a lot of fun. The 6,5 X 52R is available over here and I suspect it might even be more popular in Germany, no?
I bought a couple boxes of 32 ga. shotshells for a song and a dance, thinking I could pick up an old single barrel gun for not much money. Ha...did I get a surprise!!! Doubles are available, for a king's ransom.
