I have a 416 that kills, don't need to buy any high dollar guns. 40 grand - - - - go on hunts! first to Africa, then to New Zealand, and a trip to Argentina. And you know what I did it all with my Remington 416.................

I'd take my brand new M70 375 H&H (Lefthand) that I just picked up 2 hours ago and lose myself in Africa for a couple of weeks.

Let's see...I got a 9.3x64, a 9.3x62, a 8mm Mauser, a 308 Win, and a 22 mag...that does everything on the planet...

I'd put about 10k down on my mortgage...go to cabo for a long weekend...fly to Twin Falls have lunch with Ray, fly to Dubai have lunch with walter and Saeed and blow the rest on women...

Kathi,

Oh, how I wish it were I in that photo! Given the choice of that head on the wall or a double rifle, I think the choice is fairly easy, dont you?

Best,

yes but 505 really really closes my bullet selection. but i can always work around that.



remember here i am left handed and heym is of no use to me





my basic minimum is a 600 grain bullet at 2400 fps out of a 50 caliber rifle

i still want the horse power but with out the cost.

after racking my brain on this two rifle battery i have basicaly settled on a 510 caliber bolt and 500 nitro double

if anything alot of the componets may be interchangeable......powder....primers.....ect.


basicaly i want 6000-7000 foot pounds out of my bolt rifle and 5800-6000 out of a double if plenty

505 Gibbs has better resale value than 510 Wells.

Or you could get a Heym bolt gun in .500 NE to go with a .500 NE double. That would simplify the ammo situation.

Crazy American/700 nitro

How about the .600 Nitro Express in a double and a .510 cal bolt action. That should do the trick.

Or you could get the Robar RC 50 Then you will always have enough gun and the ability to reach out.

i have very little interest in hunting countrys other than africa.

i also dont have much of interest in game other than buffalo...elephant...hippo and larger plains game like eland and kudu. i like big guns big game the only thing i like small are my woman.

thats why i have no interest in spending my money on small stuff like 375's

heck the smallest caliber centerfire i owen is a 416 rigby ruger number 1 i use it mainly as my all round hunting rifle from deer on up.

im just trying to deside on a 2 gun dangerouse game battery 1 bolt 1 double.

.700, if you like big guns, you already have the ultimate big gun with that .700 NE double. If that didn't suit your fancy, wouldn't you be better off giving something smaller a try, such as a .470 NE or a .458 Lott?
