Good points Westley!

I am a fan of the 4 bore double rifle for sure,

even though I've never touched one. I think I

might even like to own a double 4 bore muzzle loader

with exposed hammers of course, that shoots round

balls. All 700's you can keep, no history or char-

acter in those. But a double 600NE or 577NE [slightly

less so] really is "the beginning and the end" to me.
