Krieghoff 500/416 potential trade idea

[Green Chile]

I'm considering the idea of trading my Krieghoff 500/416 for another Krieghoff in 450, 470 or 500. Lots of ammo, brass and dies included. Gun is in excellent condition and is a good shooter.

PM me with your ideas. Gun is not for sale but for trading potential.

I realize you are not selling, but an approximate value of the gun for trade value would be helpful.

K gun for K gun...roughly equal swaps unless there is a large gap...typical of gun swaps. I will address potential swap interests offline. Just to be clear, I'm not interested in trades that are not K gun double rifles.

K-gun in 416/500 Ne was first double I shot. The K-gun is an excellent platform.

Good Luck with the trade.

I've been doing more hunts with Blasers and Krieghoff with their cocking levers including a recent hunt that I will be posting a report on soon. They have grown on me and I like the safety features. I don't typically hunt buff with doubles as there are too many opportunities that are ideal for scoped guns and I like scoped bolt guns for DG. I'm convinced I've taken more good trophies with optics than I could have with irons. Your mileage may vary.

Regardless, I prefer to use doubles on ele and feel better with a larger gun on close shots. I love hunting with my 416's but would like to get this K gun platform into a little larger caliber specifically for ele. That's my basis for posting this topic.

A beautiful rifle in a great caliber.

But GC...you can easily scope a K-gun..I did it on my Krieghoff .470...a Leupold with red dot in a quick detchable swing mount (1.25 -4). It works splendidly and if/when in very dense bush, just remove the scope.. Many K-guns come prepared for a swing mount from the factory, ie clients order.

I shot 2 buff recently and took a fast shot on a cow from ca. 60m...I could not have placed that shot that accurate and fast with the irons..

More fun to shoot buffalo with a double rifle..
