I'm sorry but WOW just ain't enough!!  What a beeeeeautiful rifle!!!

At about 12.75 pounds, its muzzle-whomp would be greater and its butt-whump would be gentler than a hot loaded 10.5 pound 500 A2. It has just the right LOP and looks like my hand would fit the grip and my face would fit the comb perfectly. Yes it would do nicely as is. I know I could swing it physically, if only I could swing it financially. You make it hurt so good, MR, thanks for the torture.  | |||

The "bespoke" ones of today weigh 14 lbs. 10 oz. and cost only 91,350 pounds. The 1917 vintage weighs 12 lbs. 13 oz. for $165,000 USD. The older one is still nicer. | |||

This is crap. Sutherland hunted elephants with a pair, proffesionally. Other proffesionals were big users and fans too, including Taylor. Too big for today? Well that I would agree with. JPK  Free 500grains | |||

I remember Taylor's stories about the 600 but not the 577. He said he used one but don't remember any anecdotes. I think Taylor mentioned that these boomers were in the 15+ lb. range and too damn big to carry yourself. It would be tough today for anyone to be as tough as Jimmy Sutherland, but didn't he have gunbearers hauling them hogs around? ------------------------------- Will / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

No way, Jim. Too beaucoup for me.  While I'm dreaming, though, I think I'd go for the .500-.465 before the .577. Both rifles are in incredibly great shape. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||
