Shotguns are primarily used for hunting small game with shot ammunition.
Double shotguns represent the classic form of shotgun used by hunters. If the barrels of the double shotgun are arranged one above the other, it is referred to as a Bock shotgun. If the barrels are soldered side by side, it is a side-by-side shotgun.
Nowadays, many hunters and especially sport shooters tend to prefer the Bockdoppelflinte over the side-by-side shotgun. The functionality is nearly the same for both. It is mainly a matter of taste which variant one chooses.
Double shotguns generally offer the advantage over single-shot shotguns that they can be loaded with two cartridges at once. Depending on the trigger system, either a double pull of one trigger or a single pull of two sequential triggers can fire a shot from the right and left barrel before the shotgun needs to be broken for reloading.
While older models may rarely have them, newer models often come equipped with ejectors that automatically “shoot” the fired shotgun cartridge out of the chamber when the weapon is broken open.
The costs for shotguns vary widely. There are often very cheap used shotguns available. However, one can also spend a lot of money on a decent and often highly customized shotgun.
Especially since successful shotgun shooting depends on many individual characteristics - e.g., stock length, chokes, etc., shotguns are produced in mass far less frequently than rifles.
Some manufacturers, such as Antonio Zoli or the German premium manufacturer Blaser, therefore offer configurations for their shotguns.
Anyone who has a valid acquisition permit (hunting license for hunters, firearms ownership card for sport shooters) can purchase a Bock shotgun.
New and used Bock shotguns can be purchased either from the gunsmith/weapon dealer of your choice or online. On Gunfinder.de, you can quickly find the ideal Bock shotgun for you thanks to intelligent filters and great offers.
