Right now I'm in the hunt for a DR, 470 maybe 500. Just gotta put a few priorities to bed first. Then want to shoot a bunch, then go after buff in Tanzania.

I live outside of Austin near Hutto. I too am looking for a double. I'm leaning toward a 450-400 but not sure yet. I missed out on one a year or so back at Cabela's. I do reload for all my bolt guns now.

Rine,I live in Liberty Hill.I shoot a Chapuis 9.3x74R.Just got it recently on the group buy.I had already placed my order + sent deposit when a divorce hit me in the face.Had to sell my Merkel 470.Hell,I had to sell all my guns.So just knowing that Chapuis was coming was my light at the end of the tunnel.It was either guns or land.What can I say?Do you have a place to shoot?I have a range on my property.I'm moving the benches around right now though as I'm putting in a stock tank.
Never mistake motion for action.

Norman, between the land and guns, I would have taken the land, they are still making guns, god isn't making any more land. My boss lives north of liberty hill on Cole road. Right now, I shoot at Eagle Peak, its not really set up for big bores. I have a lead sled that I want to use for load development but I cant use it there.
