She wants to get one for her hubby for Xmas, does anyone still make such a thing? I know there are used Winchester/CZ/Baikal out there, but even they are hard to find on US auctions...
 
I purchased a brand new BRNO Combo gun in 12ga/30-06 around two years ago.

I ordered mine through Prophet River .....

Now, I had some issues with it .... the firing pin of the 30-06 barrel broke after only 10 rounds, and I had to get it repaired on warranty by Wolverine Supplies.

I was able to get a 2" group at 100 meters with Federal 180 grain ammo:

And this is the pattern with Federal #6 shot at 20 meters:

they are hard to find, I know I have 2 a baikal 12/30-06 and a cz/brno 12/308 same as 0faustus0. how much is she willing to pay? prophet river has a used valmet in 12/9.3X74R and ellwood epps has a 16/30-06 but your gonna pay for it. there was a combo on the EE a week or 2 ago I cant seem to find it now it might have sold but it was up there on the price also
 
Trade-ex has 7x57 over 12ga for $895

Yeah, 7x57R...the giftee is not a reloader, and trying to talk a fudd like him into a different cartridge then 30'06 is like trying to get someone to change religions. He did say a 300 Win mag would be acceptable if no 30'06 available, which is actually more impossible to find.
 
There are doubles chambered in 300WM, they can be had, but you'll likely have to import one, and wait to get it built. 12/30RBlaser is around, or at least easier to get, but, ammo isn't exactly corner store stuff. Cdn Tire and CSC keep it here in Cgy, I got some from Wolverine, Epps and Tradex over the years also. It's a rimmed 30-06AI.
