| 500 grain,
I really don't think you would have wanted it. It had to weigh at least 16 lb. and the barrel looked like a truck axle. |

| That rifle came out of a Fairfield CT Gunsmithing Inc. I looked at the dam thing myself, and I can tell you that I would not want to have to carry that thing all day in the sun and heat. 16lbs and then some. It was a good looking rifle but, It would have been a way better deal in .416 Rigby. Rimmed cartridges, like the .600 belong in single shots or doubles. |

>>Mac<< 16 lbs is very heavy for a 470, and it could not have been a factory Heym, but a rebarreld one if it weighed 16 lbs!

>>MAC<< Rimmed cartridges do not belong in a double rifle????????????????????? That is the only cartridge that does belong in a double rifle! .
