Snagged a Drilling!

[u/Vintage_Pieces_10]

Always wanted a drilling, but was waiting until I found one with non-obsolete calibers. Safe to say, the second I saw this one, a JP Sauer and Sohn in 12GA-12GA (2-3/4”) and 222 Remington (and a scope no less), I snapped it up quick. Handloaded my first batch of 222 a couple hours later. Excited to test it out next week and see how it shoots!

I love these combo guns. I agree it is a shame they come in obscure calibres. The rare time I see one chambered in something I recognize they typically want 3k+ lol

I kick myself for passing on one once that was 12GA-12GA-30-06. That said, 222 Remington is cheap as hell to reload for, and the shotgun chambers of this one are 2.75” (usually I find they’re 2.5”), so I’m happy as can be and knew I’d regret it like I did the previous one if I passed on this one.

Intersurplus has another that’s 12GA-12GA-22 savage for like 1100$, which is also easy enough to reload for. That one was tempting too ) (but no scope sadly so I went with this one instead)

12 gauge sxs with .30-06 under barrel would be legendary.
