...based on the German Drei (three.)
What about a fourth chamber???
20 Gauge, 7.92 X 2 and 22 Hornet. Something for everyone. Gotta be heavy though.
Beautiful gun, but being in North America and not having an restriction on # of firearms owned, I cannot see how such a contraption would be even remotely useful. Gotta give the Europeans credit though. They sure come up with a lot of god-awful designs to comply with their even worse gun laws.

Definitely superfluous and awkward for NA. Perhaps I should have said that I would have no use for such a contraption, but I'm sure the plethora of choice has it's place in Europe.

That's the word I was tryin' to remember. I'll wager the gun pictured weighs in at under 12 lbs. with the scope.

It doesn't really have anything to do with laws or restrictions, they just hunt differently. While we usually target one species here, in many European countries you'd be out hunting with your dog where you could encounter ducks, Roe deer, Red deer, wild boar, fox, rabbits, etc., which are all legal to shoot at the same time of the year.
Think of it as a Savage 24 on steroids.

My understanding was that many european countries, including Germany, had a limit to the number of firearms someone could purchase and thus firearms with many barrels, separate or attached, are desirable.

Sweden and the UK have limits on guns. Germany has no limit on long guns, only handguns, as far as I know. Also, drillings,etc. have been around a lot longer than any gun laws that have been enacted in the last few decades.

Beat me to it.
Germany has a restriction on the long guns. above 6 complete rifles you need the local Police to do an inspection on the safe room storage get an approved safe and a final stamp. that is why they have the take down blaser, sauer or mauser.
drilling had two names one for the game warden and the other one for poacher.
this is a very idea of a good combo gun that can be used in place like Yukon where we still have a very huge open hunting season.

Yes, they introduced new safe guidelines (among other laws) after the school shooting in 2009, and it applies to all gun owners. Under the new laws, they can also come unannounced to inspect your storage.
Sport shooters have no limits on handguns or rifles, whereas hunters I believe can own two handguns, one of which is a 22 RF, and unlimited long guns. They can actually carry a handgun while hunting to use for finishing off game.
The Blaser's are popular in Germany because they're German, for one thing, and they're popular in the UK, Sweden, Australia for the reason you mention, and the fact they can't hunt with semi-auto and the Blaser is one of the quickest to reload.
Either way, Europeans tend not to own as many guns as we do in North America, due largely to the fact hunting is more restrictive. The ones they do own tend to be expensive though.
