Hoser,

I agree with Tinker. I would also add that Pedersoli makes a nice hammer double. You can often pick them used for a couple of thousand. The prices for their new guns are now in the 5K range. Cherry's carry them on special order. http://www.cherrys.com/ped_cart.htm

Understand, that caliber often impacts the price of a double rifle. A 45-70 or 30-06, in general will cost less than a 470 NE. You can give Ken at Kebco a call. He carries Chapuis. http://www.kebcollc.com/

If all you want to do is try a double rifle out, then go with a o/u like the Valmet. The Baikal and Remington Spartan are basically the same gun, perhaps more QC with the Remington version.

If the idea of a sxs appeals to you, and you still want to save some cash, a cape gun may be the ticket. A cape gun has 1 shotgun tube and 1 rifle tube.

The other alternative is a rifled sxs shotgun. RBL made a 20ga. I have handled it and a few others. For the prices, I preferred a sxs rifle.

You may want to ask over at AR's double rifle forum:

Or at the Nitro Express double rifle forum:

Did you mean the Kodiak line? Is that Pedersoli's hammer doubles? Nice looking. I'll look into those.

Merkel makes a nice rifle.
I have not owned/handled/shot the B3
If it feels right in your hands, if the balance works for you, if it looks right, and if it hasn't been screwed up by the previous owner -- it might just be the thing for you.




Cheers
Tinker
