Welcome to Ron Spomer Outdoors! In this video I react to an older video I did on the Sabatti Big Bore Dangerous Game Double Rifles - 470 Nitro Express Double Rifle. It was a lot of fun to review this video and reminisce about this rifle. What would you like to see me react to next?

Who is Ron Spomer
For 44 years I’ve had the good fortune to photograph and write about my passion - the outdoor life. Wild creatures and wild places have always stirred me - from the first flushing pheasant that frightened me out of my socks in grandpa’s cornfield to the last whitetail that dismissed me with a wag of its tail. In my attempts to connect with this natural wonder, to become an integral part of our ecosystem and capture a bit of its mystery, I’ve photographed, hiked, hunted, birded, and fished across much of this planet. I've seen the beauty that everyone should see, survived adventures that everyone should experience. I may not have climbed the highest mountains, canoed the wildest rivers, caught the largest fish or shot the biggest bucks, but I’ve tried. Perhaps you have, too. And that’s the essential thing. Being out there, an active participant in our outdoor world.

Good lord, you need to talk about double rifles more. I have literally zero use for them, but I want one so badly.

@MR.Gunworks Год назад

Buy a double barrel shot gun run slugs through it then it’s a rifle go for a 20 gauge same sped as 12 but greater distance with the 3/4 oz slugs over the 12 guage 1oz slug cause it’s not as heavy as a slug I can make dead hold hits with my pump 20 guage with slugs out to 100 yards

Cabelas used to sell Sabatti side by sides several years ago, when they phased them out of the stores they sold them on clearance for $2800-3500 depending on the caliber and grade. Regrettably I never bought one.

It's been a dream of mine to own a double barrel rifle ever since I read that one book, which I can't remember which the gentleman has a four-bore that was given to him by his grandfather...

Thank you Ron for highlighting the tradition of double rifles. I would love to see reviews of other makers and other styles like drillings, shotgun/rifle combos, etc. It is too bad that the algorithms can't distinguish between videos on assembly/disassembly for maintenance versus modification.

@Winkler_B_Rudolf_1911 Год назад

No hog can survive being shot with that ! I need one of those Sabatti .470 N.E. double rifles, but the Safari Big Five Classic version, which is even less expensive than the EDL, because it has less engravings, which I prefer anyway. I've seen one in Italy for 7000 Euros.

@rogerhankins9991 Год назад

I enjoyed this review because the double rifle is so different than the guns I'm familiar with as a hunter in the US. I would enjoy more reviews of guns less often seen in the field or at the range. Maybe a nice drilling or some older guns like a Remington self loading rifle. Pretty sure that anything that piques your interest will be interesting to the rest of us as well.

Thanks for the info on the double rifle. It brought back memories of when I was looking for a "dangerous game" rifle. The cheapest new one I could find in 2016 was in the $12,000.00 range, which is why my wife bought me a Weatherby MarkV in .460 weatherby magnum (she says the store forced her to buy the gun because I drooled over it too much).

In 2004, the year I retired from my 34-year law enforcement career, I treated myself to a retirement present of a Gebr Merkel Suhl 140-2 side-by-side double rifle in .416 Rigby. Ejectors, double triggers (front articulated), two leaf express sights set for 50 meters and 100 meters (folding), 23.5 inch barrels, weight of 10.5 pounds. It prints touching holes at 100 meters. I paid $7,500. I have taken two Oryx in New Mexico, where I lived then, plus two elk there and one Colorado elk, all one shot kills. I now live in NW Montana, in the Mission Mountains and carry it hiking because it’s grizzly country. When it’s cold at night, I sleep with her to keep her warm. Unloaded, of course. ❤❤❤ this rifle!

Nice to see a double rifle video Ron. I really wanted a double rifle in 470 after reading Capsticks books until I realized how much the rifle and ammo costs. So I looked at a double in 458 Win Mag, still pretty pricey. I ended up with a Ruger No 1 in 458 Win Mag. I got an excellent used one for a good price. Now I just need the money to go to Africa.

@raleighthomas3079 Год назад

Great video Ron. Heym also makes ‘affordable’ double rifles, though not as ornate as the Sabatti. Some of the British doubles ( Holland and Holland, Purdy, etc.) can easily hit $50K. I handled one once just to tell the wife ‘I considered a rifle that cost more than your car.’ I finally scratched my Big Rifle itch with a CZ550 American Safari in .458 Lott, the last of the double square bridge Magnum Mausers.

@stefanschug5490 9 месяцев назад

Great video. My favorite was always the Heym Model 88 B with sidelocks. The are a bit pricey and start with non-engraved side plates at about Euro 25 000.- and from there go up to over Euro 100 000.- . Second good choice is the Merkel 160 AE with sidelocks which goes from about Euro 15 000.- for the base model and up depending on wood and engravings. These companies guarantee groups under 2 MOA and their barrels are not crossing over like many of the old double rifles and inexpensive ones. They both have the double bottom lugs and in addition a Greener lock mechanism. Over under doubles are not as desirable due to the larger opening angle of the box lock. I had an over under with sidelocks from BRNO for driven boar hunts in Europe and it grouped excellent with both barrels. It was under Euro 5000.- and a very fast handling gun of very good quality for that price. In Europe they have an E-gun site where you can get double rifles at a reasonable price, if you have a European acquisition license but most sellers won't ship overseas.

Pedersoli now makes double rifles in 22" and 24" models, also imported by IFG. The 22" models are available in 8x57 JRS and 9.3x74R and the 24" model is available in 45-70 and 450 NE. The model is called the Kodiak Mark IV. The also make muzzle loading versions in .50, .54, .58 and .72 calibers. I had a .72, and it would make you aware when you pull the trigger. I've wanted another for a while. These big muzzle loaders trace their lineage back to the professional ivory hunters of the mid-to-late 19th century.

Beautiful rifle. I'd love to have an original Holland and Holland double chambered in 375 H&H with express sights. I don't need one but who doesn't love a beautiful double rifle. My bucket list rifle is either a Ruger M77 in 375 with express sights or a CZ550 in 375 with express sights. That would be the only rifle that I'd ever need. Everybody thinks I'm crazy for wanting a 375 but with 270 gr SPs it would be an excellent rifle for everything from small deer to Kodiak bears. With a good scope you have trajectories that are almost the same as a 30-06 with 180 gr bullets at 400 yrds and a Lot more energy. I'd just run open sights and use it for 100 yrd and less deer hunting. My Mossberg 500A with high brass shells has about the same recoil and maybe a little more than a 375 so that's not an issue. To me it's the perfect all around, do everything caliber.

First thank you Ron for your well thought trough videos. The reviews, where you look into the details of the gun and contrast and compare to other weapons and technologies, are hard to find, and so necessary for people who are looking to purchase a hunting rifle or shotgun, and I wish you would do more of them - manufacturers sensitivities be dammed. I am exploring drillings and double rifles in the american west, where some work has to be done to deal with the longer shots and distances here. The 7mm Brenneke both bolt and rimmed versions, are great candidates for a western cartridge, when loaded with modern powders and high BC bullets. If you decide to review a double barrel 7x65r, I would be very excited to hear your opinion, especially since this would not be a dangerous game rifle, but a plains rifle with both quick target acquisition and fast follow-up shots.
