I agree with that conception, and would add that a discussion on a 600NE double is about as usefull as a 600NE double!

The talking heads who rap on about the 600NE and 700NE doubles, are in a dream world. IMO, anything bigger than a 577NE 3" double rifle is worth the most in it's "LOOK AT ME" factor, and will do nothing that a nice well ballanced 450NE, to 500NE double wont do as well, for all practical purposes! I've always thought, that someone who thinks he wants a 600NE, has most likely, not even fired a 470NE double rifle, and is in for a real suprize, and a change of mind when he does!
