hello every one.

finally my first but not my last post.

I just a green light to buy 2 big bores
460wby and 600NE double.

So now i need your advice where to find one.
The 460 is probably going to by heym and i can't seems to find 600 other than heym, so shoot away

thanks

Welcome...

the 600 is a rare bird but the quickest way would be to buy a used one.

You'll probably get more answers to your 600 double qhuestion in the Double Rifles forum.

My 2cents, Searcy and get a 600 or a 577 NE.

Champlin Firearms in Enid, Oklahoma, USA has the guns you are looking for.

They have a website. Do a google search on "champlin firearms".

Champlin has a rebored holland in a 600 for about 80K. I know of a nice 600 for about 50K, PM me if you are intrested.

Other than that, I know that Searcy can build one for 35K U.S. and Owen will build one for around 20K-22K U.S., and FAMARS will build one for about 47K-55K U.S. I'm sure Westely, Holland, C&H, and any other British maker will build you one, but your pockets are much deeper than mine.

trg-s,
Welcome to the forum.
I am wondering on why you chose those 2 calibers? Do you have any experience with shooting the 460 or the 600 NE?
B.Searcy http://www.searcyent.com/ is a good choice for the 600 as well as Heym
I did notice Champlin does have a used 600 in stock. http://www.champlinarms.com/Default.aspx?tabid=30&mid=3...StyleID=3&GunID=1091
My recommendation is to by a current production rifle that way it can be made to fit you properly. This is verey important with heavy recoiling calibers.

thanks for quick respond.
The regulation in Iceland are like this,
the maximum caliber you can buy is 8mm unless
you go hunting in other country where you need
bigger cal rifle.
I allready have few rifle above the 8mm
they are 338wm,338lm,9,3x62,9,3x74o/u
and 416wby and my friends have 458,458lott and 470
these are the bigbores rifle i have shot.
The 460 is the rifle i always wanted the 600
there is no one in Iceland who own one so i like the double and i applyed for the big one

Try to attend the International Sporting Arms Show held in conjunction with the Beinfield Antique Arms Show at the Riviera Casino in Las Vegas in January. There are usually a few used examples and all the famous manufacturers from Great Britain and Europe are usually there.

These's a vintage Jeffery to be found in Australia. Check at

www.doublegunshop.com and under advertisers scroll to Fred

Roberts site. It's marked at $68,000 U.S. dollars I think. It

is an underlever! This is NOT the rifle at BEST GUNS AUSTRALIA

which is a hammer gun.
