Recommend a double 500 NE?

I'd love to see it snagged ...

That says 2022 prices, are they still honoring those today?
Idk, (the inquiry) reply

"Merkel price list, for your information, this is out of date price list but here are the guns that we are able to import plus some other fine sidelock guns not mentioned, Merkel has changed their policy and the prices are quoted by discussing this directly with my German partner, Tobi, who is copied on the previous answer to your Guns international inquiry"

"Thank you for your inquiry, we are being told they continue to make the guns prices are going up roughly 30% in 2026 we’ve heard, and when ordering a gun which could be done to all specifications and choices of wood, etc., it can take over a year, we will send you some information about our company in case we can tempt you into buying something! That’s the American way! Have a good day, George"
 
I seen this…. Good buy?
Is it a good purchase? You'll know what you like .. when you see it.

Bonjour, comme vous je suis nouveau sur ce site que je découvre avec beaucoup de plaisir. En effet, j'y ai échangé de manière très avertie avec des personnes compétentes et j'espère que cela va continuer. Permettez-moi de vous avertir qu'il y a un chasseur américain qui vient de mettre en vente un DR 470 NE Chapuis cette après-midi pour 14.000 $ cette après-midi sur ce site. Je vous encoure à visiter son offre qui me paraît tout à fait intéressante, si cela vous intéresse. Je vous souhaite beaucoup de plaisir à chasser avec un bon DR. Tout au plaisir, Terranova
 
Hello, like you I am new to this site that I am discovering with great pleasure. Indeed, I have exchanged very knowledgeable with competent people and I hope that this will continue. Allow me to warn you that there is an American hunter who has just put up for sale a DR 470 NE Chapuis this afternoon for $14,000 this afternoon on this site. I encourage you to visit his offer which seems very interesting to me, if it interests you. I wish you much pleasure in hunting with a good DR. With pleasure, Terranova

Welcome aboard!

Since most of us do not speak French, I cut and pasted your above introduction into this little application called Google Translate. There are other inline translators available with only a few clicks of one's mouse...

Post script: I see that using the quote function of this sight automatically translates. Pretty darn neato!
 
Krieghoff will also produce a .500 NE. Takes about a year for a custom job, however, I have seen them ready to sell at DSC at the Krieghoff sales section.
 
When I called the PA factory, they told me there where a few 470's stateside, I then had to call a dealer for a 500.

One was available overseas; eta was a week .. it was a while longer. I asked the dealer for a photo; they stated "Krieghoff can rightfully decline". That would've been a bust, however, they did.

I might know of a Krighoff in 500 that’s coming to market. Another AH member is currently talking to them about the rifle. If you send me a PH I can put you in contact with the owner should that member pass.

I’ve personally held the gun, and seen the animals he’s shot with it over the years.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
