Sharing some pics of my Iman Meffert drilling in 16x16x9.3x72R. Not flashy as some of the new kids on the block(black/stainless), but hope you guys like the old girl.

Herb, that is an incredibly lovely piece of art! Thanks for sharing it with us. The slimness of those 16 ga barrels really shines here!

Herb,

You are a man of taste. That's a lovely gun in superb condition. Have you tried the 9.3X72R? How is it? Thanks for sharing the photos.

Thanks everyone!

I think the gun is made in 1920's. The barrels are nitro proofed, the 16 ga barrels are 2.5" chambers. Nice balance for a drilling as most of them that I have handled are muzzle heavy due to the heavy barrels. The rifle selector connects the right hammer to the lower rifle barrel and flips up the rear sight, a cool setup.

Herb,

Have you tried the 9.3X72R? How is it? Thanks for sharing the photos.

Thanks Vikram. I have tried it, a nice caliber for deer sized game at short to medium range. Not in the same league as the 9.3x74R which could be used for soft skinned DG.
