Marrakai,

For sure, I am not excluding any rifles based on the name

engraved on the side. I don't expect that I will select a

450/400 that weighs over 11 pounds either. 500NE WOULD work

at that weight. You have contact with a person who owns a

9.25 pound 450/400 3" Jeffery calibered rifle, I'd really

like to contact him for info. I would very much like to own

a 450/400 3" under 10 pounds. Not so easy to find... I

sent you a PM several days ago, did it get lost in

cyberspace? And yes, I have received much useful info from

400NE. More than any other poster. And another, J. Tomlinson

from G.B. has supplied me with a mountain of data as well. I

appreciate all who help me. Do I think all souls are

perfect? No, I just soak up what good info I can get and try

to forgive people their faults as I, having NO SHORTAGE of

faults myself, need more than my share of forgiveness from

others. If I offended you with a post I am sorry, sincerely.
