If you can handle a 500NE , you can handle much more , also a 577NE or a 600NE.

There is a difference between these cartridges in terms of recoil , but all a matter of habit and to do it.

You do not have to hunt in Africa or even be a hunter to shoot with this rifles. I also have a DR 600NE , and some shooters non hunters shot with both , 577NE and 600NE. This is often better than you think , shooters have often , on the contrary to hunters , no prejudices.
