Hey GarBy!

Your 400 should have a big brother!

That is an excellent deal on a fine rifle!

Mike.....I agree!!!!....but since he already has too many siblings, someone else will have to adopt this guy. Beautiful gun, though....I really like the buff engraved on the underside. These are very nice rifles at VERY reasonable $$ IMO.

Paul Jr., you are TOUGH on Pops...

what is something like that worth in us $

Bettered,
That price IS in U.S. dollars.

sorry mate i missed it the first time. that seems reasonable for what it is or am i way off the mark ( still learning all this double stuff)

Battered....I bought the 450-400 Demas shown on an earlier thread...just scroll down further in the topics and you'll see it. These rifles are extremely nice and VERY fairly priced. If my new double didn't already have 5 other "African" siblings, I'd be owning that gun. Probably would change my mind once I pulled the trigger, but if you're hunting elephant or buff, you wouldn't notice it. I'm waiting for Ken (Kebco) to let me know how his shoots.
These guns, IMO, are one of, if not thee best, deals out in double land.

Seems kind of light for 577. Love to try it out, but out of my price range.

I disagree. My Searcy .577 is 13 lbs, 6 oz and is as a pleasant rifle to shoot than any. Recoil is a big push rather than a sharp jab, like the .500 NE Merkel I used to have; that rifle was not pleasant to shoot.

Ditto's Paul,
That rifle does not sound light to me but spot on. Of all DR folk you would know. My 500 does not hurt me at 10lbs 6oz's I always therorized that a 577 three pounds heavier would be about the same kind of recoil, I may be wrong? Problem is it's not Lt. handed.

If it were Lt. handed and had a LOP of 15+ I would have to fondle the beast, at the quality to price comparison quite tempting.

Dirk

This .577 is tempting the hell out of me. I hope someone buys it quick.

500grs just think about a 750gr flat nosed solid at 2050fps.You could line up 5 or 6 elephants in a row.Now where is that checkbook

Dan, I think you should buy it. If in the end you find you aren't shooting it as much as your .222 I will buy it from you, with the right terms of course. I think I could accept an obligation of $1.00 a day until one of us dies.

Bumped this up for Vlam..........

I am glad this sold. Imagine how many elephant hunts I would need to go on to justify such a purchase.

One.....if he/she was trying to run your a$$ down!!!

Congratulations! A fine brace of doubles!

Congratulations to the new owner! A nice double, for sure.

Soooo...will the new owner of this fine piece please stand up so that we may sufficiently applaude you.
Then tell us how she shoots once you get her to the range.

'Nads of steel!

I know gerryb, shot with him almost every weekend. I am glad he finally bought a descent rifle. I have been very embarassed shooting with him at the range. His last elephant and buff where shot with a Spartan 45/70 Double I am sure. He most likely would have used a Ballistic Tip if the PH would let him. I will post pictures of his last elephant and Buffalo if he is not too ashamed of the small size. Heck I think they where both cows.

Your shooting partner Mike

Damn, Tradewinds! Talk about calling him out!? Well, he is definitely born again hard!

poor tradewinds has been having to shoot for me while i am recovering hopefully i will not be well so he can shoot this thing and get it perfect for me. might have been worth having surgery

Congrats gerryb....you got yourself a nice piece of iron there. If you're from the Sunshine State....get yourself well and maybe we can get some fellow AR Floridians out for a double shoot like them Texas boys do.

Godspeed on your recovery.

Congratulations Gerry, great rifle at a great price, can't wait to here about your range report, get well soon so you can get a big wiff of spent gun powder after the 577 roars.

Dirk

Well gerryb said i could post a couple pictures of his Elephant and Buffalo. He left the Spartan 45/70 at home and used a 470 NE by some guy named "manton"

gerryb

Nice elephant and buff.
That Manton looks pretty "shiney" too.

That's great!

Dang that's a nice buffalo.

That buff definitely does it for me!

John

i have shot a number of buff in Zim, Tanz and Zambia but i can say i have never seen a bigger buff anywhere on the hoof and actually since I got it back I have not seen a mounted one bigger, I have seen wider but bosses no. They are almost 19 inches just barely less

That buffalo is a FREAK! Damn, that's big!
