Congratulations and welcome to NE.Com. There should be a good choice of 470 Mekels, Kreighoff's and Chapuis for your budget.

Put a WTB in the classifieds also. New Guy, who posts here, is a Merkel Dealer I think so maybe he can give you a hand. Just search his name.

Another alternative may be a 400 3".

Good Luck and keep us posted on your hunt for a rifle and for a Big Buff.
