butch had a ph grade 500 nitro in stock and i just bought it
man i cant wait he said he just had to finish 1-2 things and i would have the rifle in 3-4 weeks.

i also found a ffl dealer up here that has a export permit so now i dont have to srew around with brokers and the bunch of crap that gose with it.

so now i have a little brother to the 700.

As I recall, you haven't even gotten the .700NE yet. Are you planning on importing them both at the same time?

George

if i would have known about the ffl only 30 minutes away i would have gotten my 700 by now the broker is calling me on monday or tuesday to arrage a meeting time.

the 500 will be shipped to the ffl dealer in buffalo ny he will bring the gun the the border and act as the exporter and the whole process will take no longer than 1 week.

oh well thats what i get for dealing with brokers it really starting to piss me off but theres nothing i can do about it now since searcy alredy shipped me the 700 nitro last week.

Excellent news! Make sure you post some photos of the rifles as you get them.

George

dont worry i will...... hey geroge do you have any exp with hds brass i ordered 20 peices for my 500 nitro since the hornber stuff isnt in.

Sorry, Steve, I've never used their brass.

George

Some of the old hds brass was made by Bertram and some of the newer stuff was made by Bell.

I suggest calling Buffalo Arms and getting some Bell 500 NE brass. I have used it with success.

All HDS brass is made by MAST ind. (Bell) and is fine brass!

IMac has it right again. Mast is the manufacturer. Just call them directly. Mast Technology. I have 40 rounds of their 500 brass.
As ususal it is great stuff. Now if they would only make 475 #2 brass!
