700 NE Ammo Available At My LGS

[Wishfulthinker580]

Just FYI and in case anyone out there needs some. 5 rounds at around $100 a round IIRC.

Very nice! I really like the look of the under lever rifles. What’s it like to shoot at that weight?

Found this

So the price here isn’t too crazy I guess although it is on the high end. Auction was five years ago though

I purchased a single 700 NE for $100 like 10 years ago just to have it as a talking piece. It’s really quite a showpiece!

It wasn't no worse than my 11pd 600NE Charles Osborn Double...
I have said this for the last 30 years..My custom Weatherbys in 378 and 460 were the Nastiest kickers..both were lighter than normal wirh turned down barrels and synthetic stocks...no fun to shoot but a joy to carry! The 460 broke scope mounts and cracked the web on the Brown Precision Kevlar Stock..then I got a brake and that problem was solved!

That’s some impressive recoil haha

I shudder to think how much it would cost in ammo just to regulate a 700NE.

No, but a lot hotter than a .600 Triceratops!

Yeah, I wouldn't shoot it with the butt against your shoulder! LOL
