Recommend a double 500 NE?

[VertigoBE]

What are you planning to hunt with a double rifle?

500 NE is for elephant or PH backup or for experienced many times hunted Africa with double rifle hunters....

Or for crazy Belgians

There's a Krieghoff here, 500, never shot. Paid $18+ with sales tax. I don't know what resale value would be? .. or what their asking now...

Having never hunted Africa you may be better off with a 375 H&H flanged magnum or a 450/400 3" NE or even 500416 3 1/4 NE.......at most a 470 NE......

From a practical useability point of view anyway ....

Heym or Krieghoff.....

Going for buffalo, but also planning for any potential future expeditions I hope
I m attracted to the large bore, I have the 416 Rigby now… just browsing and was thinking maybe a dream rifle for a dream hunt …plus why not lol
Who knows maybe I’ll one day get to take the big 5 and I could do it all with the same rifle….

I’d be curious on resale also…

I shot a K in 470 & a Heym in 500 (both 10 lbs. Ish) I didn't notice a difference .. just in the field, not on hunt though. More manageable than the Jeffery?
