700 Nitro Express Rimless

[Forrest Halley]

Most definitely a repeater with two down and one in the tube, look at the drop

That's cool! So loaded it's like a 20+# proposition when loaded.

With this rifle all you need is a 50BMG handgun as a sidearm to complete the outfit.

700 NE, when a 600 Overkill just isn’t enough gun.

So what are the approximate ballistics of this cartridge? I don't see a brake, so I'm guessing some of the potential is not fully realized, but it's also a 20# rifle. Also the rifle coming with 9 loaded rounds says quite a lot. I'm guessing there were originally 10 and only one ever got fired prior to the rehoming. Seems like parent brass would be fairly easy to get though.

Yeah in a nice 7 1/2 lb mountain rifle be pretty awesome.

Lol, if I had 13k to piss away on a toy I'd buy it in an instant. Assuming I survived trying to shoot it I'd love to take a tuskless ele with it just to say I did. What a beast but it looks very well built and quite sexy.

I’d say @SAFARIKIDD needs this but it’s about 12 pounds too heavy for him.

Get it down to 8 1/2 lbs and he'd be all over it!

Amazing to me that they made it in a push feed round action. Not to mention the lack of a proper express rear sight and quarter rib. You would think of a rifle designed for hunting Africa in the traditional way with a HUGE cartridge like this, that they would pay closer attention to the details.

I'd also like to know the LOP on this rifle. It looks a little short to me.

I wonder if whoever had this built was overcompensating for something!!

Standby for complaints about push feed..

I saw the ad posted but, it didn't have pictures of the ammunition. I'm curious to see the ammunition.

It is the same action used on many sniper rifles around the world. It is made to handle the 50BMG round. I'm not sure I have seen a CRF in a 50 size action.

Lack of quarter rib, I'm guessing it is possible they were trying to save as much weight as possible. That is the only thing I can come up with.

@Bullthrower338 can probably comment on the length of pull. It is probably a scaling issue making it look shorter than it actually is.

With all due respect, do you really believe that they were trying to save weight on a .700 caliber rifle? Double rifles chambered in 700NE (rimmed) are normally over 15#.

I agree with you about the LOP, it could be that the barrel is so big that it makes everything else look a out of proportion.

Hell I don't know, I'm just guessing.

The only thing I know for sure, ounces makes pounds.

The smith did a nice job with everything else. I have cut my own barrels before, don't run irons on long range rigs. I can't comment on the technical side of the irons as to a why. Just looking at it the barrel doesn't offer much taper, may not have had enough to make a quarter work/look right?

Talking with the guy behind the counter, this rifle was made for a rather eccentric gentleman that never planned on hunting Africa with it, he just liked big guns. It is an expensive novelty to have the biggest baddest toy amongst your buddies at the range. There is a lot of that sort up here it seems!

Is a 700 NE not a straight case?
