This unique double barrel bolt-action rifle is quite radical in design. It loads two cartridges at the same time and is the world's only repeating double rifle design. Incorporating titanium components to reduce weight, this .416 Remington Magnum rifle has an eight-shot capacity, feeding from a beautifully engraved massive magazine assembly mounted under the receiver. Hungarian inventor Joseph Szecsei developed his innovative design after being charged simultaneously by three elephants in 1989.

Why a double barrel if charged by 3 Elephants? Surely a triple barrel would be best in that situation.

I'm in lust with the art work and engraving, I'd never fire it for fear of getting it dirty. Curious how much shoulder damage I'd suffer if firing both barrels at once and curious if there's a 50 BMG version :)

.... but the Fuchs is a fine piece of art.... and a lot of fun to shoot I'll bet. I'd like to know how it works, must have a gear that engages the 2 bolts and rotates the 2 on their own axis as the bolt lifts....very interesting.
