New HK (Fabrams) O/U Slug Gun ??!!

IWA 2001 - Germany’s International Hunting/Shooting Trade Fair

Verbatim from the G&A web site:

"This one I really liked. Built by Fabarms but not imported by their U.S. distributor, HK, this sleek little 12 gauge is a slug gun with rifle sights intended for hunters who use dogs. In the U.S., it would make a great little deep woods gun for the deer or bear hunter. If you agree, let HK know your thoughts!"

A rifle sighted over-under slug gun..... would be great for still hunting deer during pheasant season, put a rifled slug in one tub and #6 in the other! -- Kernel

A nice idea, Kernel, but....

Few doubles group slugs together, except for the occassional one that will do nicely with ONE particular slug. One of the reasons double rifles are so expensive in the handwork needed to regulate the bbls.

Some designs do have a means of adjusting the hits, Valmet use to make a double with interchangeable bbls, including 12 ga and various rifle calibers, including 30-06. One zeroed the sights to the top bbl and then the bbl hanger was adjusted to make the bottom bbl hit the same POA, IIRC.

H&K makes little junk, this one may have some means of regulation.

I note they mentioned deer hunting with dogs.Most hunters who drive with dogs use some kind of buck, and this could be a very nice buck and ball gun, one slug, one 00 or 000...
