Fuchs Fine Guns is a rifle maker based in Innsbruck, Austria. The firm produces custom made double rifles costing tens of thousands of dollars. While the company does not have any unique cartridges of its own, it offers rifles chambered in a wide variety of cartridges intended for medium to large and dangerous game use.
The most notable of Fuchs products is unique Szecsei & Fuchs double-barrel bolt action rifle. Marketed by the company as a 'double barrel repeater'. The bolt of the rifle chambers a new cartridge for both barrels with one cycling. The company holds patents worldwide on the design.
Fuchs rifles are very ornate, and often take two years or more from the date of the order before delivery. Fuchs is one of, and perhaps the only real competitor to the British firm Holland and Holland, for the market of expensive, lavish, custom rifles.
Besides the Szecsei & Fuchs double-barrel repeater, the company offers a wide range of single and double rifles. In a variety of chamberings suitable for large, and dangerous animals.

USA –-(Ammoland.com)- While the Knob Creek Machine Gun shoot is known for all the machine guns here (which I’ll get to in subsequent posts), but I had the pleasure of holding the most expensive gun I’ve ever held and so I wanted to write about it first.
Appraised at $80,000, this Austrian Fuchs-Fine .416 Remington Magnum double-barreled bolt-action rifle is a rarity.
The root wood is beautiful, and it gives the rifle a ton of weight which is probably needed to help absorb the recoil energy.
The rifle has a double bolt with side-by-side double barrels which makes for an interesting design.
Fuchs-Fine only makes large caliber rifles for big game, so think lions, elephants, and the like.
As you can see, there are ejection ports on both sides of the rifle, and so the cartridges are ejected on each side when the bolt is racked back.
Finally, take a look at the triggers. There is a front trigger and then a rear trigger to fire each shot. I thought it was interesting that the designer didn’t just have a single trigger that could fire one shot per trigger squeeze. I’m sure it’s still a hoot to shoot, regardless.
