Mark Blote at First Stop in Rapid City has a used but "as-new" one for $8900. He is a good guy.

NorskI payed 8400 for a new K5 in 500/416 NE here in Norway. Guess the right price should be from 8-9k...

Not over here, my friend! I'd guess closer to $13,000.

PeterAgreed! Everyone knows that Americans have more money so it not just a currency conversion question. Try that with African hunts!

nitro450expHello
The Classic Big Five MSRP is $14,129.00 IIRC
Unless it has gone up again.
Then you can add options from here.
$1200 gets you upgraded medium wood.
$395 gets you a BreaKo recoil tube.
$425 gets you a See thru sight.
$1795 gets you the swing style scope mount.
$1895 gets you big game engraving on the boxlock.
etc.
These are the 2009 ~10 prices may have gone up from here.

Frank BellerHal DuPont has a new one that he is selling me for $10,500. I'm going with this one since it's new & warranted. Now if I only had a .45 calibre DR, I could die happy.
