I'm not sure if it is a .488 or .483 bore either.

The action is very big and bulky, so I'd rather try to get something more british.

I also need to sell my Merkel .470 first. Thought of selling it, and buy something like a .450 or .400 something.

I suppose there is some value for money buying the Hauptman, but the bullets might be a problem in a few years as the doublerifle boom seems to subside?

That's probably why it has a relatively low price?

I haven't seen it yet, but will in July if it is still there.
