The Bernadelli 9.3x74R Double Rifle with spare 20 gauge barrels is a versatile masterpiece that blends the elegance of a traditional double rifle with the practicality of a modern multi-purpose firearm. Manufactured by V. Bernadelli in Italy, this model offers the ability to switch seamlessly between big-game hunting and upland bird hunting, making it the ideal choice for the hunter who demands performance and flexibility.
This fine example is equipped with 25.5" rifle barrels chambered in the powerful 9.3x74R caliber, designed for taking down large game, with excellent ballistic characteristics. The rifle's quarter rib is fitted with one standing and one flip-up rear sight, paired with a ramped front express sight for precision shooting at various distances. The shotgun barrels, measuring 25.5", are chambered for 20 gauge 3" shells, making it a highly effective tool for bird hunting. These shotgun barrels, manufactured by S.I.A.C.E. in Italy, feature a matted tapering rib with a gold front bead for quick target acquisition.
The gun’s overall weight varies depending on the configuration—8 lb 3.4 oz with rifle barrels and 6 lb 10.1 oz with shotgun barrels—ensuring a balanced, manageable feel whether you're on a game drive or in the field. The articulated front trigger (hinged) and double triggers offer crisp, responsive firing, while the strong ejectors ensure quick and efficient reloading.
The beautiful walnut stock features a traditional English straight-grip style with sharp checkering on both the foregrip and the stock, providing a secure hold. The side-plated boxlock action is adorned with light border engraving, giving the firearm a subtle, classic aesthetic. Practical touches like the slight beavertail fore-end, sling swivels, and a blank initial crest near the toe of the stock ensure it remains a tool as functional as it is elegant.
The rifle barrels have been regulated at 50 meters using Norma factory ammunition, with a factory target included to demonstrate its accuracy. The shotgun barrels, choked at Cylinder and Modified, offer superb versatility for a range of wing-shooting scenarios. Both sets of bores are clear, the action locks up tightly, and the overall condition is excellent with minimal wear, typical of careful use over time.
Whether you're stalking big game or enjoying a day in the field hunting birds, this Bernadelli Express offers a seamless transition between pursuits. A perfect all-in-one hunting companion, it stands as a testament to Italian craftsmanship and practical hunting design.
