    Ideal weight for a rifle chambered in 577 NE 3"

    We at HY-ND ARMS have been re-regulating and servicing double rifles for close to 40 years and I can tell you that 14 pounds for a full charge (2050 FPS 750 gr bullet) seems to be the ideal weight. My B Searcy 577 weights 13-1/2 pounds and it’s just about as light as I would go. Body size and...

    .500 vs .577 vs .600 NE

    If this is your first double I would advise you to start with 375 H&H, like everyone else you’re going to shoot your rifle at the range 99% of the time so it’s very important that you get used to handling the recoil without developing a flinch. The 375 will be enough gun to handle pretty much...

    .500 vs .577 vs .600 NE

    I own a B. Searcy two barrel set 470 and 577 I hunted all of the big five with the exception of lion (Obama got to it before I could hunt them) Anyway, I carry my 470 99% of the time when hunting and it has been more then enough even on elephant, the only time I switched barrel to the 577 was...

    500ne vs 577ne

    You don’t buy a plinking rifle by going .577, you buy something very special and the people that own one (or two in my case) will tell you that nothing comes close.

    Ideal weight for a rifle chambered in 577 NE 3"

    I have two 577’s a Hambrusch (almost sold) and a B. Searcy 470/577 two barrel set the rifle I hunt with. The Hambrusch weights 13.5 pounds, the Searcy 12.8 pounds. The Searcy is a lot more comfortable to shoot even though it’s a lighter gun and the reason for that is that it fits me a lot...

    I'm back (I was away to Europe for a while) I'm reading about a member asking around about the Sabatti 92 double rifle and weather the gun is well made, accurate etc. I have and shoot several doubles including a 600 NE (custom built by C&C Gunworks of NY) two Searcy (470 nitro and 450-400)...
