*To Jonathan, Thanks for the detailed response. As usual,

lots of good stuff, [information] has found it's way to me,

from you. I'd not known how close to one another the 577NE

and the 600NE were, developmentally.

*To Sinner, What a GREAT photo and story of your Dad's hunt.

I can't imagine a guy feeling under gunned with the 577NE.

Thanks for posting!
