Combination Guns rule!
My most regular hunting (my longest season) is done with a o/u in 12g/6,5x55, we are out for roe, fox, hare even boar Or it is what I take when just out in the woods for no particular reason With buck or slugs i am confortable even doing road work For the cops after injured boar /bear struck in traffic. It is like a poor mans double rifle With a fmj and birdshot it is great for treetopp birds |

We hunt with Dogs like dachshound, beagle, basset etc, even some with my terrier
So it is a driven hunt, if they run past you (driven by the dog) within 30yards they get some lead from the shotgun barrel If they just pop up up, 120or so yards away (walking away because they have heard the Dogs) you have time to aim and get them with the rifle barrel i limit myself to 120 on roe because i most often just have a reddot mounted, i have a fixed 6x with qr mounts but you cant really shot shot with that If you are fancy or rich you have a drilling 12/12/rifle calibre Some pro hunters use a reverse drilling with 2 rifle barrels and one shotgun |

Drillings are not expensive and are very versatile; many folks will take one of the shotgun barrels and put a .22lr or .22wmr insert in it to give then three options - a rimfire round for small game, a 12 or 16 bore barrel for winged game and a centerfire for larger game
