a Thys in 600NE w/375 H&H Barrels. A sweet handling 600, if that can be said, but an awkward 375.
In reply to:
I also have a nice little 9.3 and have wondered if getting a set of 20 Gauge barrels would destroy the balance.
The 600NE/ 375 FL is not a well thought out combination. In the first place, The 600NE is not needed for anything on this planet. The spread between the two chamberings is too wide, The same two barrel set on a 450NE, or 470NE/ 375H&H FL, or a set of 12 bore 3" paradox barrels on the 600NE would be a far more senseable, and usefull choice. The 600/375 as you say makes for a very poor handleing double rifle "PERIOD"! On the other hand, the extra set of barrels for the 9.3 chambered for 20 ga 3" makes very good sense. The two don't need to ballance the same way! A shotgun should be light out front, while the rifle needs to be a little more muzzel heavy, and that is exactly what you will get with this combination.
