Statting the Double-barreled bolt-action rifle
Yes, it's real (and has a cool locking mechanism), there's a video on it from Forgotten Weapons. Please try not to laugh to hard at the designer's and manufacturer's names (Szecsei & Fuchs), they probably aren't pronounced the way many English-speakers would think.
Obviously, the damage statistics would vary by caliber, but the rest would mostly be similar (save for the miniature versions, that use .117 and .22). Also, one of the YouTube commenters suggested that the bolt, once removed, is substantial enough to use as a melee weapon, and I think they may be right.

As a sidenote, I think a very similar weapon could appear in a Steampunk campaign, although it would almost certainly use a fixed magazine.

About a year and a half ago, he covered a custom pre-WWI gun that was an 8mm Mauser modified with a pivoting 16g shotgun barrel under the rifle barrel. Weight was ~10 lbs (~4.5 kg).

Re: Statting the Double-barreled bolt-action rifle
I kind of liked the AN-94 as well. Is uses a cable and a pulley for chrissakes.
At the other end of the spectrum, want to know what I love as an example of elegant functional simplicity? The PPS-43.

Re: Statting the Double-barreled bolt-action rifle
That //sounds// like a fairly normal combination gun ... or am I missing something?

Back to the OP: I can give you my 3e guesstimate, which you can convert to 4e .416 Remington Magnum bolt action double rifle Malf: Crit Dam: 10d+ SS: 14 Acc: 8 1/2Dam: 250 Max: 2,100 Wt: 12 AWt: 1 RoF: 2 Shots: 2+6 ST: 13 Rcl: -4 Hold: -8 Cost: ? (Probably $10,000+) * RoF assumes two unfired chambered rounds. Loading fresh rounds from the magazine is RoF 1/2. * 1/2Dam range was based on listed effective range, and was close to the VE2 calculated number. Max Range was completely calculated with VE2.
