Hello everyone,

The time has come!!!!!! However, I am torn by the lure of power between two awesome calibers of double rifle.

I have the opportunity to get either a 500 Nitro Express made by VC from a close friend once he retires in a few months, or a custom 10 bore (partially rifled) paradox double.

Which one would you guys choose and why? All practicality aside
 
Maybe not the most practical choice, but it would be extremely hard for me to ever turn down a paradox.
The paradox would be built by Aria Ballistic Engineering Inc out of WA. Jason, the owner, really does awesome work. build would be basic, but have more TKO and terminal perfomance than classic big bore double rifles (577 NE, 600 NE, etc)
 
As an owner of a double rifle caliber 577 Nitro Express and another one caliber 600 Nitro Express, I have a different opinion as far as terminal ballistics is concerned.

The TKO was always controversial discussed and is no longer relevant for the choice of a cartridge nowadays.
 
A .500 double rifle is the way to go..the Paradox is now a part of history..
 
The .500, for this gun you will get reliable info on regulation, loads and so on.

But a 10bore Paradox sounds like a lot of fun!

Good Morning x84958
I have read your post about Jamy Traut and your hunt in Caprivi. I am planning such a hunt for 2026, Oct with Jamy.
Just a question , because I will combine Caprivi and Panorama for PG, is the daily rate the same the week long, I mean the one for Caprivi or when in Panorama it will be a PG rate ?
thank you and congrats for your story.
Best regards
Philippe from France
