In short, with a year's out build time out of the equation, I regret the opportunity to purchase an 89 that was readily available, to a point. There were some spec's that didn't appeal?!? ..

I was curious 89 owner's POV's, pics "if you care to share", etc. &..
their 577. I've seen receiver sizes up to 500 N.E. in the 89, however how much difference is in the receiver, is it strengthened/Bolstered when built for the 577?
Many Thanks! They are Beautiful!
 
The frame sizes have not changed between the 88B and 89B as I have been told. Below is a picture. Note that you can have a .577 in either a large frame or a jumbo frame with corresponding weight and cost increase.

Unhappy with your Krieghoff?
I haven't even looked at the enclosed targets, etc, let alone Shoot it!

I'm formally in quarantine, .. if the weather breaks, ill take it out this week & report. I'll say though, for a stock build it's an excellent fit! .. perhaps actually using it may suggest otherwise?

The 89's, in appearance are stunning!
... I have yet to see an "Essencia" rifle?
 
https://www.ziegenhahn.de/ Thank You Chris.

With respect to the particular 28 I had the opportunity to handle, it was a breed apart .. respectfully so considering the above. I'm sure their rifles out of the equation, for me at least.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
