Thank you for the explanation...

Interestingly, I went the exact opposite. I started with semi automatic rifles, then realized that a single shot was all that was needed. But I wanted a gun that could hunt fowl/or raccoon with BBB as well and I stumbbled upon a combo gun. My first combo was a Baikal in 12/30-06 which was a fantastic gun, the screw in chokes really made a big difference. My second combo was a Spartan which was a dog. Because of this experience I moved to all Valmet combo's.

After my positive experience with the Valmet combo's I moved to the Drilling. Which in my opoinion is the ultimate hunting rifle.

My Drillings are all have the 22 Mag WMR in the right shotgun chamber and can support 00 shot or a slug in the left. INMO what more can you ask for in a gun. A large caliber rifle, a 22 Mag and a slug/00 Buck...

for $1000 each I will buy 10 if someone can figure out how to import them...
