Bolt action double rifle

Abstract

A high power bolt action rifle combined with a removable “back up” single shot barrel. The bolt action barrel would preferably be on top of the single shot barrel. This arrangement facilitates with the ease of converting it from hunting dangerous game (incorporating both barrels) to hunting non-dangerous game (removing lower single shot barrel). When hunting dangerous game with this rifle one receives the full benefit of a bolt action, and that of a double rifle. After the bolt action is fired the hunter can decide whether to immediately follow up the shot by firing the single shot barrel or work the bolt and load the bolt action and fire the bolt action barrel again.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A rifle comprising: a bolt action firing mechanism and barrel combined with that of a removable single shot breech loading firing mechanism and barrel.
