I dont understand the interest for this old, non suitable for big game hunting, cartridge. A rifle in this caliber is a symbol of a old era and de facto a object of collection. For this reason we have to buy old ones or rifles of Houses with Tradition! That is right, the problem is the price. But dont forget the poor number of rifles and the lot of work and material for made one! That's the reason why, in my opinion, the use of a shotgun action is curious, and may be dangerous. I have a 577NE, no comparison with a shotgun. The action is very big and heavy. But to have one just for fun, why not!

I try to buy a old 600NE and than we speak again. Regards.
