577 NE double rifles

[matt85]

While I would prefer a 577 NE 3", it's likely I will never be able to own one. So, a 577 NE 2 3/4" would certainly be an acceptable substitute if I could actually afford it. I have even entertained the idea of a 577 BPE, although I would really prefer the NE cartridge.

Outside of Australia, all of it is special order.

Some time back, I saw a .600 NE for sale. It was a British rifle, roughly 13 lbs, with 26-inch chopper lump barrels, and it was a nice rifle indeed.

When I handled it and put it to my shoulder to aim, I heard my inner voice say, “Dude, you need to carry this thing all day, every day, in the bush… think about it.”

The answer was obvious.

Of course, you can always have a gun bearer. But to me, this is about passion and nostalgia. There is simply something special about hunting buffalo, elephant, or hippo with one of these classic rifles. That experience is worth more than practicality alone.

That is a very light 600NE double rifle . Would not be fun to shoot .
