Re: Which chambering 470NE, 475 #2 NE,or 500 NE?

With the talk of gun weight I thought this might be of interest. Over that last day or so I've been surfing the web and compiling a list of caliber and weights of DR's (& barrel length) that are out there for sale. Now I didn't duplicate any guns that had the same specs. I also didn't include a lot because they had no gun weight listed. Here is the list I compiled.

I found it very interesting that there were so many 450/400's and 8 Bores for sale out there currently.
I'm totally captivated by this double rifle. So if anyone wants to buy it and send it my way I'd be eternally gratefull
