Found today Peter Hambrusch Video about .700 Nitro Double Rifle and Bolt Action Rifle on www.ferlachguns.com and it is quiet interesting.

Interesting indeed, especially when you consider he flung about three quarters of a pound of lead down range in five shots! Did you see how hard his head snapped back……His muffs came off nearly every time….poor fellow had to have a headache after that!

The poor fellow is Peter Hambrusch himself.
I am curious about the price of one Round .700 Nitro

I've got one of A-Squares old price lists (but not with me now, I'll post later unless someone beats me to it). I would guess that your looking at spendind at least $50 a round for factory ammo.

I think it was closer to ahunnert a piece. When they made the ammo and the gun, everybody was surprised at how many folks wanted to buy 700 NE rounds.

and im the only person on here to have bought a 700 nitro double rifle

i sold the rifle to a poster on here buy the name of safarie kid who then after acqiring a 4 bore double sold the 700 to big doggy 700.

i hand loaded the ammo wich kept the costs down but was still expensive.

the recoil really is not that bad.. it like a larg push not a jab.....you definitly know it went off but its not that bad really there are worse guns out there for recoil.

Take a close look at the 700 Nitro video, right after he closes the double before he shoots...he doesn't look real enthused at that point.

With a square bullets, one of the supply companies magazines was getting $375.00 for a box of 5 loaded rounds. With 1000 grain woodlieghs, the price was $335.00 for 5 rounds.I was watching Peter's video and his head really snaps back on the second shot with the bolt rifle, so much that he has to adjust his earmuffs before taking his third shot. His loads give off 8400 ft.lbs. When I have shot the 700 searcy, it does not seem like my head snaps back that much. The double may balance better and I weigh another 100 lbs more than Peter, maybe this keeps my body from being pushed back so fast.I agree with 700 nitro that the recoil is manageable with a little practice, still a pretty big PUSH!

I nearly fainted when I saw the lightly adorned screw-on QRW-style bases on top of the highly adorned square bridges of the 30-06 displayed as counter-point for size comparison to the 700 NE bolt action. Peter has good taste, but I want my QRW's integral on the high quality Satterlee stainless Magnum Mauser. I must admit I have QRW style mounts epoxied and 8x40-ed to the square bridges of my BBK-02.

Notice the little bobble when feeding the third round into the 700 NE bolt? He stopped, backed up the bolt, looked inside, and closed it to feed the third round home. Was he just checking?

Maybe he was buying time so his vision would come back into focus before the last shot!


What is the price tag on the bolt and double in 700?

Sheesh! You are on the verge of out-pinky-fingering the extended pinky finger crowd!!

Whats in the new sig pic anyway?? Buffalo? I think I preferred the old "kopje top Botswanny" pic, but not sure until I figure out whats in this new one.

Cheers,
Canuck

Mississippian,
Could be.
Or maybe just confused, "punchy," and forgot whether he chambered that third round or not.

Canuck,
Yes, you got it, tatanka. A very pleasing scene to my eye. Buffalo of the Bison bison persuasion. American plains game. Tatanka is the bull bison in the Lakota Sioux tongue.

Yep...and a very popular bison ranch name ever since "Dances with Wolves".

Cheers,
Canuck

ps: and it goes w/out saying that I approve of anything bison themed. Nice sig pic!

Anybody notice how Peter Hambrusch struggled to close the top lever on that 700 NE double when he was loading it? Looked like a new one in the rough that needs some breaking in. Another little bobble. However, the supply of 700 NE ammo was depleted after those five rounds from the one box, and production budget for the video shoot would not allow a re-shoot of the shooting. Had to go with the first take until he can collect the price on those rifles. Then he will be able to afford more ammo.

Lakota are good people. I honor them with a new cartridge name, in a new caliber, the ultimate all-arounder: .395 Tatanka, the forty-ought-seven of the new millenium.

Happy trails.

canuk that 700 nitro is mine.......i sold it to.....safarie kid and he sold it to big doggy.....

I got that.

So, the way I read it Safari Kid and Bigdoggy700 are also members of this site that have bought a 700 nitro double rifle....no? Or don't they get credit for buying a rifle, just because it was used???

Was just trying to be cheeky, eh.

Cheers,
Canuck

Thanks for the invite 700. That sounds like a hella lotta fun. Unfortunately, however, it is not in the cards for me this year....I am still licking the wounds to my bank account from Tanzania and am short on vacation time to boot.

I'd love to "do Austrailia" sometime though!

Cheers,
Canuck

That is some big time fun! Anybody know how much the Kynoch ammo for the 700 costs? I've got to believe it's in the $300-$400 range for five. His neck was snapping around pretty good on a few of those shots.

I think the rifle is 15 pounds UNDER weight.

RIP,
I believe the 700 nitro bolt action is in the 45,000 to 50,000 dollar range. I sent him an e mail today asking for prices.I am curious also.I think his bolt gun weighs almost 19 lbs.The 700 searcy double weighs 17.1 lbs on my scale.

On the Hambrusch website, it listed .700 Nitro Kynoch rounds at 126 Euros per five pack. That equates to $164 per five or $32.76 each. Certainly pricey but nowhere near what some have speculated.

Right now Kynoch 700 Nitro in either solid or soft retails in the U.K at just over £55 per round, the 5 round packs are £282 inconversion to US $'s that is $541 per 5 rounds

Heh,heh, try locating a box. You'll pay much more than SRP.

I would love to buy a whole bunch of kynoch 700 rounds for32.00 dollars a piece. I sure cant find them that cheap.

Am I the only one who doesn't get access to any video on that website?

MacD...click here. Then click on the image. If you are having trouble with the streaming, you may want to right click the image, and then left click on "save target as" and download it to your harddrive before watching.

Be warned though...its a monster file....40 some-odd megabytes.

Cheers,
Canuck

MacD37,
I also was wondering what I was missing that others found easily Thanks to Canuck I am downloading the vid

John

You guys need to add RAM and maybe update your Op Systems. Older systems as 98 will require way too much memory to view big file vids.

After shooting the three rounds they missed the bit where he fell to his knees and vomited if the expression on his face was anything to go by.

Guess its time for me to join the fun! Yes,had the 700 double,sold it to Big Doggy and been playing with my 2) .600 Overkill bolt guns...Light and powerul weapons,8 3/4 pounds on the Kevlar one and 10 pounds on the wood stock beauty...The 4 bore double IS KING,but 26 pounds of terror!....So now its time for another and I now have on order A .700 Bolt Gun.I requested it to have 21" SS barrel,Gorgeous wood and to weigh 12 pounds or so ! Should knock me around like a 9 pound .600?! Maker is a secret for now,so dont ask! : )

Well Safari kid, I know it is not from Peter Hambrausch. He said he only made the one bolt 700 nitro and it was too costly, so he won't be making anymore. He has made 6 double bl. 700 nitro's and has two on order. He has made 4 of his falling block rifles in 700 nitro and has 4 more on order.Nice hogs you shot with that 600 O.K. yesterday, the brown one is a big piggy!

i already know you are ordering a 700 ahr......i was talking with the owner this week.......

as ill be ordering a left handed 700 ahr..

After watching the video, on the .700 bolt rifle when he checks to see if he actually chambered the third round it just_might_have been a move to avoid a "public flinch" moment on the video if he was on an empty chamber.

John

Well I don’t think I will be standing in line to shoot that one! That is one big UGLEY rifle. I like the way it knocks him out from under his earmuffs. I had a .375 Sako carbine that weighed 7.25 lbs that kicked hard enough for me.
Bill

Thanks for sharing that website. I had to LMAO at the guy shooting that thing. When asked how his 416 Rigby recoiled, a buddy of mine said it was just like having a pair of ladies silk frilly panties landing on his armpit, but they were filled with a 350 pound woman. She don't even come close the ear defenders landing on his nose. I mighta shot one just to see, but I think two of those would have overdrawn my getting the shit knocked out of me account for one day.

Am I the only one that want to see that 22 Hornet double :-)
