European rifles referred to as Drillings or combination guns were commonly are found in 7x57R caliber. The Europeans, especially the Germans and English, were primary users of these types of rifles to suit the wide variety of game they encountered and their desire to have one gun do-it-all. The combination guns used multiple bores (sometimes up to 4 barrels) to include both rifle calibers and shotgun gauges.
Here is a link to illustrate an example:
