Thank you gentlemen.
When I started looking I had in my mind to stay as far under 9 thousand as possible. Then I heard about Cabelas exclusive on Sabattis and began following the discussions here and elsewhere.
If a properly regulated gun will put Hornady
Rds on target, the price is great.
What else will 9k get me? Are there sites dedicated to marketing double guns besides Gunbroker? No one around me offers Hornady 470 NE and Cabelas is selling Federal for 275.00/20 count.Any suggestion on a outlet for ammmo on these NE rounds. I guess reloading is out of the question with guns regulated
with one specific brand.
Appreciate all your help.
Firstly $9G will get you a second hand Merkel or similar priced DR, Chapuis, Krieghoff etc.
Secondly, while a lot of people in the USA do not reload, if shooting NE and factory ammo it will cost a lot. Reloading is the ONLY way to go IMO.
Usually it is possible to duplicate and find a handload which will regulate if the rifle is actually regulated in the first place. Some calibres such as 9.3mm's use an unusual regulating bullet IMO, such as a 232 gr, which again IMO is not ideal. Much better if they shoot a 286 gr load IMO.
I wouldn't buy a 9.3mm regulated with a 232 gr load, unless I knew it also shot 286 gr or 320 gr loads.
If buying say a .470 it will almost certainly have been regulated with a 500 gr projectile and load, a .450 a 480 gr or 500 gr load, and a .400 probably a 400 or 410 gr bullet and load.
