You mean they will pay me nearly $8,000 to take it off their hands?!! Hmmm ... Naw, not nearly enough. Pass!

Todd WilliamsKim Kardashian!! Really? I'm thinking more Rosie O'Donnell.
I do see one similarity to KK however. Let's see, she was married for what, 70 days or something like that? Not very reliable. Just like that auto safety feature!!!

I was at the range again this afternoon. My Blaser is heavy, way to heavy for me to carry very far anymore but it sure kills the hell out of a water jug.

I am most anxious to hear about your .577.

It's not a Luxus but it has a really nice piece of wood on it. A 500 NE for less than $8000! Amazing.

I know they are not everyone's cup of tea.
My 470 weighs in at 11.5 pounds. I have had some significant health issues in the past two years and there is no way I could carry that heavy of a gun for very long but it is a very well made gun and they shoot great. Fantastic scope mounts. Incredible triggers. If I was heading out of camp I would probably grab my K-gun because it's about a pound lighter (my new little Chapuis is just to pretty

) but I sure like my Blaser as well. In fact, I haven't found a double that I didn't like. As far as price is concerned, I don't care. I like the gun and I don't have any plans on selling it although, after watching that Ivan Carter video, that Heym PH is looking awfully good
