Re: NO Sabatti .577 or .600 nitro rifles will be produced !

I just called and was told the 577 and 600 are being made but EAA decided not to import them now, but might after the first of the year. My dealer said he still has the order showing pending for me and has not heard anything from EAA canceling the order. Who knows. I had hoped to get one and test its quality. Clearly a $3000 .600 NE double is a gamble. Oh well.

You know, I'm not sure I'd want to shoot a 600NE double rifle that cost as little as $3000. That works for me with a small chambering that produces light recoil, but with a rifle that produces that amount of recoil, and costs only $3K, has to have quite a few corners cut, and the conection between the butt stock, and the action, being the weak point in a double rifle, is not a place where poor fitting is acceptable. In my experience the worse quality workmanship, in a cheap double rifle, seems to always be in the wood to metal fit. I think I'd need to look this thing over throughly before even considering a buy, especially at that price point. There are legitamate reasons why double rifles are expencive, and I for one do not expect too much from a 600NE double rifle that costs no more than $3K. Call me but I'm a mighty cautious man where big bore double rifles are concerned, since the double chambered for large bore cartridges are made for only one purpose stopping dangerous big game.
