No mention of rifle weight in the 'description'. Unless I missed it in the long winded single paragraph description. A pretty major thing to not list, I doubt it has been missed by mistake.

Sounds like a ridiculous chambering for a double rifle. Probably being sold for a reason, and probably not the first time it has been "pre-owned".

If a persons wants a more powerful DGR one does not go to "more velocity" but to a heavier bullet and larger calibre.
- from a .450 NE or .470 NE or the like to a .500 NE;
- from a .500 NE to a .577 NE;
- from a .577 NE to a .600 NE.

Personally I prefer to kill the elephant and not "fatally wound" any animal ... the statement also somes up the "Weatherby" BS line of thinking and probably what the client thinks when he ordered this crap chambered rifle. Probably has more dollars than sense ...

As XAUSA says, elephant hunting is about getting close. If you are shitting your pants about getting close, stay with the "back of bakkie" hunting instead the person probably usually does ...

The WR rifle is probably quite nice, but seems like it has been ruined with a ridiculous calibre and cartridge chambering ...
