``Drillings, Combination Guns, Double Rifles(below)
These rifles are used for big game and what one would consider small game, but, not rabbits. More like Wild Boar or Wild Pigs in the southern USA. They can bring down a fairly stout animal.
Here is oneI took in Zimbabwe last September. Double is a .500 Nitro Sabatti.

If you were asked (click here) what comes to mind when you hear “dangerous game rifle,” or DGR, surely only one of two images would be conjured up: either a bolt action with a Mauser-type controlled-round feed, a sturdy set of iron sights, a barrel band front swivel and perhaps a dropped box to increase magazine capacity by one; or a double rifle with side-by-side (SxS) barrel orientation and double triggers. There’s no question that the latter is the more romantic of the two, the kind of gun a professional hunter in Africa has for protecting clients. But this romanticism is based more on habit—people have always carried them—than on the rifle’s actual features.
(below - click here) Another name for these rifles are Dangerous Game Rifles (DGR). These sportsmen are not served by military style weapons. So, don't let any of the Pro-Gun extremists sell the idea semi-automatics will serve the purpose of the Big Game or Dangerous Game Sportsman. That won't happen. This type of game need special skills and weapons. It has nothing to do with assault weapons.

Double Guns - or double barreled shotguns are typically acquired for hunting,
sport shooting & gun collecting. These two barreled shotguns can be either
Side by Side (SxS) or Over and Under (O&U). American, European & British
SxS shotguns or gameguns are very popular with field hunters and gun
collectors, while O&U shotguns are used mostly by target shooters.
Double Rifles- Double Rifles can be either “side by side” (SxS) or “Over and
Under” (O&U). Large bore double rifles are typically used for hunting dangerous
big game and for sport shooting competitions. These competitions simulate
big game hunting. SxS and O&U Double Rifles are fun to shoot and are very
collectable.
Drillings - The Drilling is a European hunting gun with Three barrels. Typical
Drillings have 2 Shotgun Barrels over a Rifle Barrel. However, Drillings have
been made in many configurations (rifle & shotgun) and caliber’s. Drilling guns
are typically used for mixed bag hunting.
Combination Guns - Combination Guns feature two barrels typically in an
over & Under configuration. (Side by Side Combination guns are called “Cape
Guns”) The barrels are always one rifle and one shotgun. These over and
under guns are very versatile and typically used for European type mixed
bag hunting.. |

``Savage 24F-12T Turkey Gun (below)
Benjamin Franklin wanted to make the Turkey the national bird. I think he was correct. At least the USA would be interested in feeding the people rather than using them for soldiers. I can see it now, "The Screaming Turkeys." The fear of the Pacific theater.
Savage M24F combination gun While turkey hunting has become a shotgun sport for most, rifles are still legal in some places, with .22 centerfires being the most popular rifle cartridges. For those who like to hedge their bets, or just can’t stand it when a bird hangs up at 70 yards, the combination gun is the answer. Savage’s break action 24F was intended for predator hunters but would be perfect for turkeys -- if it’s legal where you live, and if you have no qualms about shooting a turkey with a rifle.
Blunderbuss (below - click here) The classic turkey gun of the Pilgrims was not the blunderuss (meaning that more than Marilyn Monroe’s shorts are historically inaccurate in this picture). The short, bell-barreled shotgun was more often used as a weapon of war and loaded with large shot. It’s likely if a Pilgrim wanted to shoot a turkey he would used a “long fowler,” a .75 caliber flintlock nearly 6 feet long.
