Gents: Since I acquired my first .600 I have dreamed of a hunt in Zim for buffalo and maybe hippo and elephant with a small group of like-minded gents in camp only armed with .600 NE double or single rifles, new or vintage. Any interest in this for 2014? If so I will start gathering info and prices. Bwananelson? CCMDoc? Others? Cheers all.

Yea, but I thought is was a 500NE and up deal. I couldn't stand the thought of having to defend my puny little 500NE so I got the 577NE. Damn! Now I'm going to have to defend the puny little 577NE! It ain't fair boys!  | |||

My interest is in watching the video and living vicarious.  Maybe my interest is in being a gun bearer for those heavy guns if someone takes care of airfare. The 600 Club... Is this related to the 700 Club? Would love to see video of the 600 used with different bullets. CEB Woodleigh Barnes Or maybe matching post mortem shots. My money is on CEB 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S. (Founder) | |||

I'll still take my .577 hands down any day over the .600!!   Deo Vindice, Don Sons of Confederate Veterans Black Horse Camp #780 | |||

That's only because you don't have a 600! A little's good but a LOT's better! NRA Life ASSRA Life DRSS Today's Quote: Give a man a fish and he eats for a day.

Can I bring my 300 if I promise to always shoot it twice? (300 x 2 = 600!) . | |||

Gee, guys, a simple "yes" or "no" would have been fine. However I understand the group I am dealing with. Biebs: if it was penis envy it would be a 4-bore only hunt. Grenadier: only if each bullet weighs 450 grains. And to any others who make comments about manhood, well, errrr,...... that's why I have a .600 and a 4-bore.

I would indeed love to go on this hunt. It may take more than a couple years for me to go. I may be able to handle the 600 overkill and hunting loads by that time. Frank | |||
