  1. Occasionally on online auction sites you will see a SxS, or even an O/U made with fully rifled barrels and open adjustable sights.  Some may even be drilled for scope mounts.  Most often they seem to be 20 gauge.  There is a market for them but suppliers are few, so they are often sold fast, for a good price.

    I would guess you could find just about anything out there for the right price............I was just trying to be realistic since the original poster said that $280.00 for a rifled barrel from Cabela's was too expensive. If you start playing around with gadgets that may or may not work, you can sometimes spend more than you hoped and get less than acceptable results when all is said and done.......if I was on a budget, I'd stick with something that I knew would work and I wouldn't be wasting money on something that might work.

  2. You can scope a dbl rifle and still be accurate enough for ethical kills.The guys that have the safari show on tv do well. This is a prime example of a TRIPLE gun,scoped. I would never pay this kind of scratch for a rifle, but to each...

    I think inserts would be the way to go if possible, my choice would be to buy a nice used gun already set up.

    didn't know that factory made double rifles were part of the discussion..............I was talking about double barrel shotguns that come with nothing other than a bead and then having to go and have it worked on by a gunsmith to either have open sights put on it or drilled and tapped for a scope, if that's even possible......I've seen a lot of double barreled shotguns, but have never seen one with a scope or open sights.......I wouldn't play around with buying the gun, putting inserts into it and spending the cash to have sights installed, only to find that the barrels have different points of impact or just shoots terribly all around.

  3. what type of sights would you have on the double barrel? I've never seen a run of the mill double barrel with anything other than just a bead, I'm sure you can find a gunsmith to add some other type, but then you start looking at the cost of that and the inserts and it starts adding up..........and if those inserts are only 18" long, what happens if you have a 28" barrel? I would be concerned the slug might contact the barrel after it leaves the insert..........as mentioned earlier, accuracy would be a big concern with those things, just my opinion, but they seem like more of a novelty then anything else.......If it were me, I'd get the rifled barrel for the 870 and be done with it, probably cheaper in the long run and you know exactly what you're getting.

  4. There is a reason there is a plaque at the top of Mt washington listing all the people who have died on the mountain.

    maybe they should move it to the bottom so the less intelligent people who shouldn't be attempting it can realize the potential dangers beforehand...........
