I was in the local toy store paying my "regular" lay away payment... one more payment, & my new VZ-58 comes home... ( then time to start working on getting that pair of Montados home )... while doing the walkaround, I saw 2 more rifles that neither was on my list to buy this year, but that really caught my eye...

1st was a BRNO semi auto ( forget the model... but the sme as my 22 mag semi ), only in 17 HMR... ( not quite as nice a wood as my little BRNO though )

2nd was the new Remington double rifle... this one was in 30-06 ( not sure what other calibers will be coming, & if they'll all be regulated to the same distance, but I'd have been in trouble, if that had been in a big bore caliber )... I asked the store owner about it, as I'd heard of them, but not seen one... he told me they are so rare yet, that the Remington rep had not even seen one yet...

... I'm wondering how they shoot... based on the Bakal single shots ( basically 2 barrels bolted together ), the barrels are nearly 1.5 - 2" apart, & side by side... currious at what distance they are regulated to meet, & if anyone ( more connected than I ) has had the chance to shoot one yet... this one was priced out in the $700's

.... your guys thoughts ???
