Normally in big game rifles, one has the choice of either a double barrel or a bolt action (semi autos being generally eschewed as not reliable enough). After the surely unnerving experience of being charged by three elephants simultaneously, however, Hungarian hunter Joseph Szecsei decided he wanted both the immediate followup shot of the double barrel and the capacity of the bolt action all in a single rifle. So working with Fuchs Fine Guns in Austria, he created just that - a double barrel bolt action rifle.
The system uses six locking lugs on the rear end of the bolt to lock two bolts and chambers, and a dual magazine which holds three extra rounds for each barrel. The guns are made to order for the very high end of the market, and are available in pretty much your choice of caliber - this particular example is in .416 Remington Magnum. Interestingly, Fuchs also makes an over/under pattern of this system as well as a miniaturized rimfire pattern. Neat!

"How did you come up with this bizarre idea?"
"I was charged by 3 elephants simultaneously and I expect this to be a common occurrence in my life."
how do you think elephants are preserved or any animal like lions for example
were do you think the money comes from?
not from you or people like you

He covered that by hip firing 2 rifles.

I had visions of geared bolts, front lugs and timed ejectors. The artist who made this obviously thought in more simple, reliable ways than I did! Absolutely beautiful piece of engineering.
Same. It's one of those "it's easy to stand an egg on its end once someone shows you how" sort of situations.
I thought the same thing until he said "how do you rotate two bolts?" Naturally, this being this guy, it had to be the coolest answer possible: "well, you dont".
I was thinking the same thing, and wondering how reliable it would even be with such clock work.
Newton had an apple hit his head. Benjamin was struck by lighting.
Szecsei was almost trampled over by three elephants.
I will take the apple option

Just think: if semi-autos weren't illegal in pretty much every African country, this would never have been invented. Necessity, mother, etc.
@Blake Ubersox Oh, I see. But Alaskan bear hunters and guides don't care about reliability, which is why they DO use autoloaders and lever-actions, and those guns are illegal in Africa because they're not reliable enough, so the governments outlawed them for the hunters' own safety? And the various, expensive, "assisted straight-pull" bolt guns are also much more reliable than autoloaders, and not just a way to get around the laws? And when every article about big game rifles for Africa says "semi-auto and lever-action rifles are illegal" before explaining why people use bolt-action or double-barrels, it's not actually relevant to the article? Got it.
You know that bolt-actions are used WAY more often than doubles in Africa, right?
A better argument would have been "those guns aren't chambered for powerful enough cartridges." It still would have been wrong, though.
That is a real motivation!

@@LarS1963 trophy hunters are a huge part of conservation tho. Go ask some rangers at big game reserves. I dont want to get too deep into it, but it's not as selfish as you think. The money that is paid by the hunter directly funds conservation of said animals, and the animals that the hunters hunt are problem animals that would drive the species to the point of extinction
Yosef Szecsei strikes me as the kind of man who leaves nothing to chance but his own design.
If he'd nearly frozen to death, he probably would've built a fully automatic nuclear reactor to fight it.
Reminds me of the total opposite approach Britain used once, interestingly just used chickens to keep their nuclear landmines warm, so the mechanisms wouldn't freeze in winter.
If its stupid and it works, its not stupid. The truly stupid one was the one my Grandad had to fly with, called the Violet club. It was so unstable that its centre was filled with ball bearings. To arm the device, a plastic plug was pulled out and the ball bearings allowed to fall out. Once loaded, the ball bearings had to be removed before engines of the bomber could be turned on (or they would destroy the bomb). The bomb was deemed so unstable that if armed and in the air, it was deemed too dangerous to land with it ; even a hard normal landing would detonate it. Once in the air, it had to be used. They were fitted on Valiants at a time when they, due to being flown hard, fast and low (which kills aircraft in next to no time) had major fatigue issues and were literally falling apart from the stress. The B-47 had similar issues (as would any aircraft). The instability of the bomb meant that crews never flew with it- which considering the thing weighed nearly a ton (and unlike conventional bombs, the weight is very concentrated)- drastically changed the handling of the aircraft. So, for a time, our defence was based on a bomb which had to be used if put in the air, on bombers under heavy strain and falling apart, with crews unexperienced on how to handle the bombers under such loads. Aka, how to accidentally nuke Norway.
Well it's just Norway, not a good country like Sweden /s

He is cleaning, and a man in his late teens- early twenties, clearly a /k/ommando, judging by a fawning over his own brownells AR10, gawks at the bolt of the m107 saying “Jimmney crickets! What does that shoot?” The man, speaking in a southern accent says “.50 bmg, sir.” Then near by, a 5’7 lady in her early 30s beckons him over, holding a strange double barreled bolt action rifle, missing its bolt, and a large L shaped indention in her left pocket, and several huge magazines in the pockets of her cargo pants, clearly sweating in the glorious Nevada heat, saying“That’s not a bolt... THHIIISS IS A BOLT!” Bringing to bear a strange thing out of a oil stained pocket, and disappointing the local “weird boy,” a man who currently is experimenting with his strange prototype of what seems to be a AR10 with an AK-107 recoil counterbalance system.

I saw an over under bolt action and my brain just about stopped working.
"Broke into the WRONG damn rec room, didnt ya?". Burt Gummer cycles bolt...
Underrated comment right here.
I'm by no means an expert, so my immediate thought was that one bolt was connected directly to the handle and had a gear, and that the other bolt had just a gear so that it would form a planetary gear setup. I'm so used to conventional, forward-locking bolts so it was a "duh-why-didn't-I-think-of-that" moments when you showed the collar and rear locking lugs 😂 great video, maybe I could work for HK since I like complicating things lol
Makes you wonder how many times they got it wrong until it worked... The action is fascinating
@@keithadams812 probably weak though, due to the back lugs
@@dongambino5308 I mean those are some beefy lugs in the back, and they probably tweaked the metallurgy of the collar, lugs, and action to make it work.
“Semi-automatics aren’t reliable enough,”
*meanwhile in Barrett’s garage*
catsndogs98 To be fair, that’s technically anti-material rifle, it’s not got the accuracy this gun has.
@@MrZpeppers If the M82 can hit a target over a mile away it can hit an elephant at 50y.
Callum Turner fair enough, I’m just saying they’re meant to be to things completely. I think the main issue with the set up of a semi-automatic high caliber rifle from what I understand is a shooters preference, some people just don’t like the movement of the action when they’re making follow-up shots. I’ve heard some people say they it has to do with the consistency of the bolt action over semi-auto in that the bolt will always hit the same place. Again I have no clue as to rather or not that’s true but that’s what I’ve always heard.
@@Turgz wouldn't an M82 disintegrate its target? Kinda destroys your trophy and/or meat of the game.
@@APPLEPIE978 not if the game is vehicles or buildings
Clearly there needs to be a version with three barrels, for when you absolutely need to kill the guy you're aiming at as well as all his ancestors.
Omicron9999 Also it becomes useful when you have to kill that robber in a safe behind tank, on the other side of Pentagon.
Don’t forget u have to do it in the dark because that makes it much more badassssss
Bring a .338 Norma Mag machine gun at that point.
When you have been chased by 4 elephants..
I don't know if triplets are available in the caliber required for elephants, but they do exist for hunting.
This is truly an impressive firearm. It's incredible to see something so eclectic and unique, that is also so pragmatic and functional. Truly beautiful. I would love to see somebody attempt a lever action version of the same thing.
@harrikirvesniemi9685 One shouldn't need a dictionary to know those words. Dictionary-speak would be more like "While I could wax lyrical about this masterpiece for an hour or more, I'll just say that in summary the Fuchs Double Barrelled Repeater represents the apotheosis of the big game rifle and its creation elevated Joseph Szecsei into the pantheon of gun-design greats."

Wrong: you need a 4-barreled rifle, 3 shots for 3 elephants and 1 for yourself in case of insufficient accuracy...

The bolt style and action works a lot like my .22LR my grandfather gave me. It has "Sportsmodel II" engraved on the barrel. Not sure of the manufacturer, but all the writing is in German. Sadly only a single shot, but it shoots super accurately. I've hit a groundhog at 150 paces with it on iron sights.

"Fuchs me"
-After being trampled by an elephant.
Afnan Zahran or you could just briskly walk away. Elephants run at about 12-14MPH. Humans can easily achieve 18-22MPH and do so for hours, but the elephants will tire after minutes.
The "easily achieve 18-22 MPH" is dubious - that's sprinting for mere mortals - and the "can do so for hours" is completely absurd. Unless you actually train as a runner, you cannot continuously run at your *average* run speed for hours. Let's say for the sake of argument that Szecsei has a nice even savanna to run away on - not trapped in a bush surrounded by marshy grass. I will grant you, if he kept his head and didn't just sprint wildly like you know, a frightened person, he could probably keep his distance long enough for the elephants to tire and give up. That is only because they are enormous creatures that take equally enormous energy to move and thus cannot keep up their aggressive chase for a very long time. Again, assuming he kept a cool head and didn't trip trying to save his life in the most expedient way possible, it's feasible he could get away unscathed, assuming he had the forethought to not trap himself with the terrain, flora, other dangerous creatures, etc. Feasible =/= easy.
Sure but the fastest recorded man was 29.5mph vs fastest recorded African elephant was 15.5 close to half. If you are unfit and playing with monsters you are either insane or backed up with some help. Honestly I have walked among elephants on a high fence preserve and they surely look like they are fast but really you can out walk them if you pay attention and keep your head. A light jog for 100 yards or so should do it. If you can’t manage that then may Darwin take you if you are dumb enough to approach. (I also learned Hippos can frigg’n run, at speeds approaching Olympic 800m sprinters). We stayed away from them even though my guide was authorized to show us to them and take up boating. He had earlier lost a fellow guid and two clients less then a month before.
It’s not about tiring, it’s about overheating. Humans in reasonable fitness can travel at 4-6mph over uneven terrain for 20hrs straight if property motivated. An elephant will need to stop and cool down in less the 4hrs. This is how our ancestors hunted everything. We are physically superior in this way to almost all mammals, especially if you carry a waterskin. Further I have never heard of elephants climbing mountains or scurrying up a steep slope so there’s that and additionally unless it’s a single bull without a babies and other elephants in its group it will no pursue very far so all points are moot. And if it is a single bull, it will give up and abandon its anger quite quickly because you aren’t that important to it and it’s actually quite a smart animal and will see the pointlessness of chasing a dumb human for more then a few minutes.

Having a rotating colar with the locking lugs on it is very interesting and could allow for the use of a much shorter bolt as well as the use of eccentrically shaped cartridges.

Appreciate the fact that, on top of presenting concise, well-researched info on these history pieces, you ALSO take the time to manually edit your CC subtitles. There are often times even little corrections or further clarification there that improve the overall content of the video. Comparing the quality of your subtitles to what the Auto CC bot produces on other channels is laughable. Bravo, thanks for the effort.
Well, Mr. Szecsei has finally ended the argument about the best firearm for bear protection. No one can top ‘outrageously powerful bolt-action double barreled stopping rifle that costs as much as a luxury automobile and is made by an Austrian high-end’ gunsmith’. Remember, you can be too careful.
And is designed to insta kill things that will rip your arms off, shove them up your butt, reach down your throat, and shake your hand before decapitating you.
I think the idea of this rifle is so you dont have to be careful at all.
How expensive is your rifle?
*Swarovski* scope expensive.
It's one of those "If you have to ask" kind of things.
Still cheaper than an FG 42 or 1921 Thompson I'm guessing.
@@Tiger351 not to be a dick but you'd be guessing wrong. You could buy a house at the edge of town for what that cost.
Dick Danger it's true value maybe, Morphy Auctions estimated value $25K - 37.5K for this rifle, FG 42 up to 75K+, 1921 Thompson 80K+. All depends on who is bidding on the day though.

What a rifle. Quite amazed at this unique action and just how well crafted it looks.
If he got charged by 3 elephant why not build a 3barrel bolt action rifle
That would be an interesting engineering challenge, presuming that you want all three barrels to be magaizine-fed.Unless you went for all three barrels in one plane (like the action above, but one extra barrel wider and the middle barrel would have to eject straight up), I'm not entirely sure how that could done. Also not sure how/where the scope would be mounted if the centre barrel ejects straight up.
My not just bring a Gatling gun at that point?
Maybe with 2 Barrels beeing the really nasty cartiges and one Barrel beeing like a normal rifle caliber, just like the german Drilling rifle for example?
@@dj1NM3 Two barrels on top, one underneath. Upper barrels have magazines at 45 deg and eject at 45 deg upwards and outwards. Bottom barrel has mag at 45 deg and ejects at 45 deg downwards on the other side. Aliens-style hydraulic Smart Gun harness is optional... ;-)

I'm just over here still trying to wrap my head around the concept of an over-under double-barrel bolt-action magazine-feed system.
This should keep me occupied for awhile.
i now right? are the barrels offset diagonally? is one barrel placed a little farther forward than the other? does the magazine feed from the side?
Maybe as the bolt assembly rotates when the bolt is open. So, when you rotate the bolt, the entire assembly goes from vertical, to horizontal, picks up the rounds, then returns to under over, and chambers them.
I'm just making stuff up, but maybe.
Well that doesn't sound overly complex and magical or anything! I'd love to see that "twist and shout" dance go on though.
My question exactly
On their website, it looks like the magazine is on the side. Very low profile still, though. This company makes some faaancy stuff👀
With two triggers, you could light off both barrels simultaneously. Ouch on both ends.
I believe that is true of most common DB elephant guns.
Friend: what you do to your shoulder?
Me:fired both barrels of my rifle thats in 416 magnum at the same time. So its dust right now.
F:oh that's not good did you get the elephant atleast?
M: not sure we looked but there was just a large sticky pink spot on the ground.
F:....
M: yea it wasnt a good day for either of us...
You've done it again, Ian. Interesting and informative. I also would prefer a. 22LR.
That is such beautiful workmanship.
Alan Quatermain gun, but with follow-up shots. Needs a "both" trigger, though.
For when you need to shoot through the charging rhino and kill the monsterous pagan demigod behind it.
That is accomplished by putting your finger all the way through and just janking it home. Szecsei and Fuchs are not responsible for any permanent damage caused to your shoulder.
Well, some gun laws would then make that out to be a an "automatic weapon"
You *could* place a steel block between the triggers, and don't tell anyone you did.
This would work for really any double barreled firearm with separate triggers, but then you are immediately in constructive possession of an automatic firearm.
Ian Lehman Eh, not quite. Two triggers, under US law, equals two trigger pulls (which is weird, but hey) - hence, legal.
Apparently, any modification that links two triggers together, such as a block or, other means that will require you to pull one trigger for both rounds, which the law then considers as one trigger pull still falls under an automatic firearm. It's the wrong way to interpret what an automatic firearm is, really.
More like secsi.
I know its not pronounced like that, just give me this one.
I'll allow it.
Secsi & fuchs in one name, it has to be intentional 😎
Dammit Dad, get off UA-cam!
Lili Why it sounds funnier that way.
I was waiting for someone to say it's Secsi as Fuch. I just took one for the team.
Absolutely GORGEOUS!! I don’t know which would be more painful, the recoil or the price😬🤣
This is my favorite gun I've seen on the channel. 5/7 perfect score.
If you had trouble finding the auction:
Current bid is at $14,000 and expected to fetch between $27,500 - $37,500 🤯
Heart broken
Not too much for an Austrian boutique-gun.
Still around 13.000 more than i can afford .😅
Not quite as much as I had figured.
$12K to $24K is the normal ball park for custom made African drilling rifles most of which are tame compared to this mechanical beast! The prices are stupid high even old Mauser Actions pimped out by these sorts of custom African rifle makers go for crazy high prices.
For a double barrel bolt action rifle it looks very opulent however I’m more amazed of the novelty of a quality double barrel bolt action rifle.
Beautiful piece!
this is such a good (and in this case, extremely well-executed) idea that im surprised we dont see this more often
8 shots of Magnum! That's some back up.
I think by the time the elephants charge they are supposed to be angry enough.
You can get an 8shot Magnum setup at the pharmacy, in the adult section.
This gun is so cool I probably wouldn't be that mad if I died by it
@Sableagle
XD. True true...
But seriously, one US national guard trying to earn his combat badge took a direct hit to the chest with an RPG7, and took three days to die... This was 2008 I think. I'm too lazy to look it up again.
This is far ahead of its time damn I love this piece
I love everything about this set up
One of the most beautiful rifles I’ve ever seen.
I want me one of those Szecsei Fuchin' rifles!
THAT IS THE COOLEST GUN i HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME.
Great video! Amazing engineering!
"Szecsei" & "Fuchs" AKA what you say when the tiger starts running towards you
For when you want to kill that overgrown cat running at you and the chop the trees behind it in two.
😁 you have never had a tiger charge at you. They're fast; this is too heavy.
Underrated comment
@@dscrappygolani7981 I don’t think you need to run if your carrying this thing
if i were a tiger, and i saw a guy with this thing in his hands, i'd run- away!
I don't even need to follow the link to know this is going to be an expensive gun. Kind of reminds me of the car Homer designs in The Simpsons and the guy at the unveiling asking "What does this monstrosity cost?"
Although if I had unlimited money then I'd probably pick one up. I mean who knows when I might be charged by 3 elephants.
sternonisoil theoretically you could be charged by up to 8 with this...
It doesn't need to be expensive, though, as the action is mechanically simple.
+Serdiuk Paul
Maybe, depends on what the tooling costs or if they are custom made and there is no tooling to mass produce those fine rifles. Then again, I do not know what such a rifle would cost to manufacture if you just went to a competent gunsmith with the drawings and asked that person to manufacture the rifle.
Estimated sale price is $27,500 and counting....
The greatest expense is aligning the barrels to shoot to the same spot. While computer controlled machines can make the action, aligning the barrels will require hours of work by a skilled (expensive) gunsmith.
It’s stuff like this that keeps me coming back for more videos on this channel. 😄
Hold on, did he almost pronounce the Hungarian name right? he got both the sz and the cs correct, only the 'i' at the end was incorrect. Very well done Ian!
He really tries to get pronunciations correct.
Never heard of anything like it. Really simple but genius design.
*The correct pronounciation for Szecsei:*
"Sz"=like "s" from sight,
"e" = like "e" from less
"cs" = like "ch" from "chain"
"i" = like the "i" from "thin"
So is it roughly pronounced as "Seh-chi"?
More like "Seh-che-ee".
Ah ok, thanks.
This rifle, however, is pronounced "Sexy".
Seccsi fuccs
Grand. Never saw before such a strong and good rifle.
The most beautifully built firearm I’ve seen on this channel!
It's so pretty i didn't even notice the FG-42 until the end of the video.
Yes you did
That is ingenious! The locking collar and non rotating bolt is just amazing.
I love the idea. Badass design and badass ordinance.
what a beautiful and useful piece of art
