| If you are faced with a choice of buying a gun or going hunting (but not both), take the hunt. |

| When I would practice at at the range before my pg hunt this past july I would always bump into these two guys from Atlanta. They had doubles in 600n, 577n, and 500n. All were Holland and Holland rifles. I got to shoot the 500 several times and and was impressed with the balance of this rifle and the accuracy at 100yds. I think I have to have one even if I get to hunt with it only a few times they are fun to shoot. |

| Picked it up yesterday. Wow, what a beautiful rifle! Need to find some ammo and take it to the range. What procedure do you guys follow with a new double to find what works best. I will probably buy a box or two of factory ammo but will definitely reload, these things are expensive. Butch builds a great looking rifle. |

| You did goooood. Damn fine rifles. Just make sure you hold on to it front and rear when you touch it off the first time.
If you own a gun and you are not a member of the NRA and other pro 2nd amendment organizations then YOU are part of the problem.

| Ordered some rounds from Superior the other day and some brass and bullets from Midway. Hopefully can fire it up on Sat.
I have a Win in 416 rem that is not bad at all ,how does the 470 recoil compare? |

| I don't think you will find recoil to be any worse than your 416...might be less. As for factory ammo, All I have shot in my Searcy is Federal. I think you are better to reload. It is much less money in the long run and gives you the option of reduced cast bullet loads for practice shooting.

| 500 grns. Not sure about the cast but the lop is pretty close but could probably use another half inch. Talked with Butch about this and he could add a spacer and cover with leather. My nose is about three quarters to one half away from my thumb. As for cast all the sxs shot guns I shoot are straight and work fine but I don't know about dbl rifles. I will just have to shoot and see. |
