Well, a valiant attempt after lengthy research, sincerely appreciated pov's, and patient distributors .. In conclusion "Thank Lord", love this thing.

Thanks!!! Couldn't resist this Fabarm Beta Classic! .. astounding fit/feel , newsed, but as new as I'd ever guess.

 

[Daniel Cary]

Many Thanks! .. I posted their "Essencia" in another thread, but photos will not not justify. 28ga, said he'd offer an outstanding deal??? assuming due to lack of 28ga? .. Stunning none the less.

 

[AZDAVE]

Congratz! you will enjoy your new double!

Haven't had much time, or rarely home to get into this a bit, would like to see what Ammunition was used from the factory ...

However, with that said, I opened Nosler's old Email to see if "Buy One, Get One Free" was still valid? It worked indeed! BOGO was the code, however it's not needed when added to the cart!
Hope this helps! https://shop.nosler.com/nosler-ammu...n//utm_medium//utm_term//mc_cid//mc_eid/.html

Good question, Thank You .. I may start another thread to ask actual users.
I have shot Krieghoff's, not in 500, but this purchase still has never been used. There was a Heym being finished off @ the Factory & Krieghoff had one in Germany for delivery at the time.

K was obviously more affordable and has a great reputation for any problems & service, for a 1st.
The Nosler was 1/2 @ the time & ended up 'c 10 Boxes ..

That sure looks like a well regulated rifle

It sat @ the US distributer for a long time before shipping .. I often wondered if they didn't want to, or awaited the right person to take it out to their range.
I simply appreciate the curiosity, as It prompted me to look it over & a few pics.

It is light for a 500 (10lbs?) & I'm curious actual users experience. However, really slim profile, compact, solid machine that just .. fits. If "beauty is as beauty does", I wouldn't hesitate again ..

Make sure it fits....standard K guns do not fit me....10lbs is too light for a 500....if it does not fit and balance....good luck....

It's an excellent fit, for me .. the weight, or lack of (I'd really like to hear anyone's experience) in .500 ...

Shoot a 10lb 500 NE double and get back to us....
I shot 500 NE Krieghoff before at a big bore shòot, it double discharged and the Krieghoff rep said I made a mistake so I paid for the next 2 rounds and insisted he show me how and the same thing happened and needless to say it went straight into the box under the table....and I walked off with my 500 Jeff ZKK602....that weighs 11.5 lbs unloaded. ...

That is a pretty slim recoil pad, maybe wear a thick jacket ...
