Anyone bringing a 470NE sunday?? This rifle weighs 9# 15.6oz with scope and 4 shots .. would be nice to compare them, head to head, as these loads are right at 2150fps with a 500gr bullet .. and It would be interesting to compare (again) the 470 AR vs 470 NE .... jeffe opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

Is there no dress code at these events!?!?  | |||

Maybe it's the new color for the "Bubbas"? They have been telling us for years that they really are a "sensitive" bunch! And who can argue, that as "Bubbas", they have always been in touch with their inner child? Que Hombre, Boomie!  Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

The ear muffs are cute, and may even make us more acceptable to Peta. The over exposer to pink may cause limp wrist and could be a danger with anything over 9.3 in cal. JDD DRSS 9.3X74 tika 512 9.3X74 SXS Merkel 140 in 470 Nitro | |||

I have run into weather problems here in the NE and will not make it to the shoot. I was really looking forward to it. See you another time and place. Doug I tend to use more than enough gun. | |||

That's a real shame, Doug, for lots of reasons. Besides meeting a fine craftsman and seeing your new rounds, I was hoping you had a pair of color case-hardened earmuffs for the event. Seems we have a theme for these events now.... "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||

Great! Boomer demonstrates how easily he controls 470 NE ballistics from the handy-dandy 470 AR! Is that a Ruger or a Mauser? Life is good! Boomer gotta boom stick, Daddy gotta squeeze box, Momma never sleeps at night ... I just felt like singing something, whether it makes sense or not.

Hehehe... Shot the 375, 416, lott, and some others but the 550 express 700@2150 and 550 Gibbs 615@2480 was the most interesting. Hope jeffe posts the video soon... The 470 is a 7 mag conversion. 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S. (Founder) | |||

Heh heh... Everything is subjective... In felt recoil it is the lott x2 but as others have said if you need it or if game was in yer sights you would not think about it with the adrenaline flowing. I think the vids will show these beasts can be used well. Once you overcome the fear of the perceived recoil you can become proficient in them. 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S.

Sadly Rich encountered some technical dificulties with his action and left it at home  Will have to shoot it at the next get together. I eagerly await load development of the 1000 grainers in the 577 BME. 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S. (Founder) | |||

Thanks. Just to reconfirm, since Boomer was so giddy about his pink earmuffs, he forgot to mention it. I was recollecting a Ruger by a Texas Smith, in his own proprietary line of cartridges.  | |||
