Glad to see the rifle has kept its POI and its accuracy after being stored away for a while.Fired two shots and went home.There was a small crowd in attendance,all gathered around my bench,they seemed impressed by the 500NE and of course the shooter!

cal pappasShootaway:
As we have become somewhat civil, I will be pleased to send you a $20 Zimbabwe note! I offer this in friendship knowing you still feel my double rifles are garbage/trash.
Cheers,
Cal

INTJNot that impressing me means much, but if Shootaway and his detractors actually become civil and respectful to each other, I will be impressed. In the last decade, I don't think I have ever been crossways with someone on an Internet forum and been able to resolve that.

DMWell, he has shown that he's like a little kid that feeds off negative attention, rather than not get any attention at all...
It seems there's one on every forum...

nickhNice group for 50m.
Before I go on my ele hunts, I spend about 6 weeks shooting offhand at varying ranges , mostly 10 - 25m as this is your most common range of shooting them.
I generally practice a quick mount and shoot both barrels as fast and accurately as possible. I also practice my reloads from my cartridge belt . This is also as important as straight shooting .
Generally shoot 20-30 rounds per session.
Good luck on your safari. Are you hunting in Dande east? I'll be there late May.

Searcy. Damned auto correct. Did you not shoot this rifle when you first bought it? And is those two rounds all you are going to shoot before you head to the east to shoot an elephant? And while your over there feel free to ask Buzz if I can shoot a double.
